Instant Credit Card Approval

When one of my colleagues heard the concept of instant credit card approval, he asked me 'dude is that really possible?'. Well yes, was the answer because the modern banking concepts are being continually developed and improvised upon by the businesses and finances. They largely make use of a technology that is known as the digital cash technology. The functioning of credit cards, vastly depends on the existence of the digital cash technology. Here is how the digital cash technology and credit cards work.

The Concept of Credit Cards

When you swipe a credit card, the credit card company bears the expenditure that has been made by you, for the time being. In a particular month, you tend to make many such expenses through the credit card, which the credit card companies temporarily bear. At the end of the month, these expenditures are listed out on a bill, that the credit card company sends over to you. The bill of the credit card company also has a particular service charge or a rate of interest for bearing the expenditure. The service charge is calculated using many different methods. Your credit card company can charge the service charge by considering the average rate of interest, that prevailed in the market throughout the month. Sometimes, for the regular and long term clients, the company charges the amount as per the annual percentage rate of interest.

The Concept of Instant Credit Card Approval

Now lets proceed to the concept of instant credit card approval. When you apply for a credit card to the company, the company usually goes through a lot of information about the applicant and also confirms the good credit history of the applicant. The basic necessity to avail the instant credit card loan, is to have a good credit history. It means that you should have the least possible debt and must have also paid back the previous debts and loans on time. If you have a bad credit history, then you should be must be willing to pledge a collateral with the credit card company, which would make the card a secured credit card. A secured credit card means that, if the user of the credit card is unable to fulfill the bill, the credit card company is authorized to sell the pledged collateral, in order to recover the losses suffered. Hence, if you are planning to apply for an instant approval credit card, all you need is a good credit history or a collateral of value that you can pledge.

So the question remains that, how does one apply for an instant credit card approval. Most of the credit card companies have 3 basic methods of approval that can be listed down as follows.

• Instant online approval credit cards: Instant approval credit cards are usually applied for in the official website of the credit card company or the financial institution. After the application for the card has been made on the website of the company, the company goes through the routine identity checks and analyzes the credit history. Sometimes the service charge varies according to the count of the credit history. In some cases, if the applicant is pledging an asset, then the amount of the charge also varies according to the value of the asset.
• Telephonic application: If you are filing an application for an instant credit card approval with a company with whom you have already conducted business, then it is also possible to file the application over the telephone as most of the data regarding the identity proof and the credit history is already with the company.
• Application in person: The last type of application method is the one that is done in person. Application in person means that you complete the application formalities right at the office of the credit card company.

In all the cases, the credit card is approved instantly and the actual credit card is mailed or couriered to you. Believe it or not, it actually reaches your door step within a few hours time after you have applied.
