While it is safe and easy, the access to the applicant’s credit information ensures a faster turnaround time on the approval or denial as the case may be. It significantly reduces the back and forth by bank executives, saving everyone’s time and effort. There is more to the advantages of online application of credit card, than mere better and faster processing of the application.

From June 2012, Standard Chartered introduced India’s first instant online credit card approval solution. It has rolled out a concept called Approval-in-Principle (AIP) which would provide an instant decision whether the credit card application will get approved or not. Once the online credit card application is received, the system does a quick check with the help of a third party credit bureau. AIP will then provide an instant pointer on the credit worthiness and eligibility. AIP will be a tentative approval and will be mapped against the physical application which will eventually provide a final approval on the credit card application. For every approved AIP, a bank representative will contact the applicant for further documentation and application process fulfillment. The status of AIP can be tracked online through the following URL:

AIP provides instant provisional decision for the applicant, cutting through the processes and systems. Standard Chartered further provides document-pick-up facility. The entire online application system is safe, secure and tested against any vulnerability.
