Introduction

The credit card application is created to enable customers to apply for a credit card by providing basic personal and financial details. While applying for a credit card, you can also define preferences such as whether authorized users are to be added to the card and if balance transfers are to be defined. All the required disclosures and notices are displayed as part of the application and all regulations governing the bank and the applicant involved have been kept in mind while identifying information to be captured.

The application tracker is built to enable tracking of the application once it is submitted. The application tracker also enables you to retrieve and complete an application that is saved. Additionally, you can perform certain tasks from the application tracker such as uploading documents required by the bank, specifying additional card preferences such as delivery preferences and card customizations including defining card background and name to be printed on the card.
