As long as the credit card application is approved successfully, even if the credit card is not opened, the personal credit information will show the approval time and specific amount, and the words "Credit card not activated" will be displayed. If you log off later, it will show that the card has been logged off.

Cardholders can go to the counter of outlets through the account cancellation channel, submit applications through online banking, or call the customer service department of the bank. After receiving the application, the bank will immediately check whether there is any debt in the credit card account that needs to be cancelled. If it is confirmed that there is no debt at present, you can cancel the card. The cancelled card can no longer be used for consumer payment. It is suggested that the cardholder cut off a corner of the cancelled card and discard it.
