How to Check My Credit Card Application Status?

Thanks to the convenience and power of digital banking, applying for a credit card is a simple task. All it takes is a few clicks to submit your credit card application in a snap. 

Your provider will need a few business days to process your application. If you find yourself wondering if the delay is business-as-usual, or a sign that something may be wrong with your application, checking the status of your application can help you clear things up. 

Generally, the best way to check your credit card application status is by directly contacting your bank. You will be given an update on your application, or informed if you need to take any further steps such as submitting additional documents. 

You may check the status of your credit card application via the following channels, although the actual channels available may vary according to your bank:

• Via your mobile banking app

• Via your online banking

• Calling the customer service hotline

• Emailing your bank

• Submitting an online request form 

It may be helpful to take note of the expected duration of your credit card application, which would be communicated to you during the application process. 

Commonly credit cards may take anywhere from five to 14 business days to be processed, longer if there is missing or inaccurate information or documentation. 

The credit card application process is largely the same for most card issuers, as outlined below. Take note that your bank may have extra steps to follow during the application. 

In general, here are the steps when applying for a credit card in Singapore. 

• Step 1: Choose the credit you want by browsing providers’ websites. You can also compare credit cards using SingSaver.

• Step 2: Once you’ve selected the credit cards you want to apply for, check the eligibility requirements. Only proceed if you fulfil all requirements. 

• Step 3: Apply for your credit card online. Follow the on-screen prompts to submit your application.

• Step 4: Be sure to gather and submit any supporting documents required. You should also click through the application process until you complete your application. 

• Step 5: Wait for your bank or card issuer to contact you with the outcome of your application. If your application is approved, you may receive an SMS, email or notification in your mobile app. Look out for a confirmation letter and your brand new credit card to arrive  in your mailbox in a few days. 

To inquire about the status of your card application, call American Express New Accounts on 1-800-392-2000. 

It takes approximately 14 business days to process a new application.
