Wang Sicong took a screenshot and revealed that his bank card number ended with four 8s, which caused heated discussions among netizens. However, in fact, a few years ago, a netizen posted a bank card number that also caused a big wave. Because the last seven digits of her bank card number are all 8s, which is 3 more 8s than Wang Sicong's. This is because the card number of the bank card can be selected. Although the bank says that ordinary users can also apply, it is often only available to VIP customers. 1. The threshold for bank card number selection
Currently, most banks in my country can provide customers with number selection services, but for some special numbers, such as consecutive numbers "8" or "6", they are also commonly known as For “pretty accounts”, the threshold is slightly higher, and the application period will be relatively long. Some banks only open this business to VIP customers, and becoming a VIP customer requires the bank's assets to reach a specified amount. Different banks have different requirements, but generally the minimum is 200,000 yuan. The number selection is not random and can only be selected from existing cards. 2. The process of bank card number selection
First search for a bank that can provide number selection services, and then consult the conditions for number selection to see if you meet the standards. After confirming that the number selection requirements are met, you can go to the bank to handle it in person. After entering the bank, there will be staff to guide you, so you don't have to worry about not knowing how to operate it. If you don’t want to go to the bank in person, you can handle it yourself on the bank’s official website or APP. The bank's official website and APP homepage have clear categories. You can follow the page prompts to find the entrance to apply for a bank card, then select "In-depth Customization" or "Advanced Customization", or other options containing "Customization", and then follow the prompts. Just pick a number. 3. Management of bank card number selection
As one of the important credentials, bank cards are very important to both the bank and the customer, so the bank has very strict control over this. For the sake of user asset security, as well as to avoid disputes and facilitate bank management and inventory, banks generally do not take the initiative to provide account selection services, especially so-called "good accounts" that may lead to internal and external speculation. Will be proactively given to customers for selection.
The bank card is actually blank before it is issued to the customer, so in principle it should be used sequentially. Even when the bank lobby takes the initiative to choose a number for a general type of bank card, the lobby manager will dissuade the customer by saying, "The cards are processed with consecutive numbers, and the number selection may not pass the machine recognition." In fact, for wealth management gold cards, wealth management platinum cards, diamond cards, private banking customers, etc., they have the right to customize the last six digits of the card. The bank will proactively inform such users or other VIP users, or directly use the customer's birthday as the card number to create a card number and give it to the user.
