Searching online for the activation method of the first card of Minsheng Bank Card, some netizens said that it can be activated online, and some netizens said that the first card must be activated at the outlet. Then, does the activation of the first card of Minsheng Credit Card have to go to the outlet? Do I need to go to the outlet to activate the first card of Minsheng Credit Card? Not necessarily. There are two situations. Applicants who apply for Minsheng Card through the counter can activate it through telephone banking, WeChat banking, China Life app and online banking. Applicants who apply for Minsheng No.1 Card through online channels must bring a valid second-generation ID card, a credit card to be activated, a card opening letter and a reserved mobile phone number to the Minsheng Bank outlet in the card receiving city for activation. Why do I have to go to the outlet to activate the first card of Minsheng Credit Card? According to the regulations of the Banking Regulatory Bureau, banks should abide by the principle of seeing the applicant himself, the original ID card of the pro-nuclear applicant and the signature of the applicant himself. The principle of "seeing with your own eyes" can prevent others from taking the credit card falsely, and can also better prevent the risk of subsequent credit card use. The first card of Minsheng Credit Card must be activated at the outlet, and the second card no longer needs to be activated at the business outlet. To sum up, the Minsheng No.1 card applied through the counter can be activated without going to the outlet, and the credit card can also be activated through telephone banking, WeChat banking, and National Life app. People's livelihood card applied through online channels must be activated at outlets to fulfill the principle of "three relatives" in handling credit cards.
