Extended information:
Card opening
Since the card is sent by mail after the credit card application is approved, there is no guarantee that the recipient is the applicant. . In order to protect applicants and banks from fraud losses, the credit card has set up a card opening procedure before it is officially launched. Card opening is mainly done by phone or online. The relevant personal information provided during the application is checked. Once the information is met, the card opening process is completed.
At this point the applicant becomes the card holder and can officially start using it after signing on the back of the card. After opening a credit card, you generally need to set up a password for the card.
After accepting a credit card, a credit card merchant or bank must review the validity of the credit card and the identity of the cardholder.
