Talk to the bank you already have a relationship with

At first, the first tip is for you to talk to the bank you already have a relationship with. This is because your bank already knows your financial history, as well as the transactions you carry out.

So there will be higher chances of offering credit cards. Likewise, the chances of refusal, if the movements are minimal, also increase!

The fact is that in cases where there is a refusal, being a bank where you are already a customer, they will go over all the necessary steps to get approval the next time! Therefore, contact your agency and expose everything you want!

Know your credit profile

Another important tip for getting a credit card is to know what your credit profile is. This is because, before choosing to have a credit card, you need to know which card you are going to choose, taking into account fees such as annuity, coverage, minimum income required.

So, try to find out about the cards available on the market and then proceed with your card application! We'll talk about that later!

Have a clean name for your first credit card

Well, to make the request, another tip is to have a clean name. This is because most financial institutions tend to deny opening an account, as well as requesting credit cards for people with a dirty name.

Therefore, if you have outstanding financial issues, look for creditors and negotiate all debts before choosing to have a credit card. If possible, choose the prepaid option where purchases can only be made if there is money in the account!
