please contact your preferred bank or financial institution directly. The application

What factors are considered when my application is reviewed? |
 |
Approval policies vary depending on the financial
institution issuing the card. Your employment and your credit histories are among
those things that will be considered when you apply for any card.
Many financial institutions rely on information from credit reporting agencies.
MasterCard is not affiliated with these agencies and we do not advise members
on how to use the information they obtain from credit reporting agencies. In addition
to providing telephone customer service, some card-issuing members maintain websites
that include information about MasterCard products and services.

comments or questions for a member that does not currently have a website or is
not listed in our directory, please contact the member institution directly.
