Apart from the factors mentioned above, there are some other factors that directly impact customer’s eligibility for an IDBI Bank credit card.

Location – IDBI Bank provides credit cards to people located in certain cities. Also, the bank deems certain areas as ‘No Issue Zones’. So, customers whose address does not come in serviced areas won’t be able to procure a credit card.

Credit Report – Having a good credit history and a high credit score is important to avail a Credit Card by IDBI Bank. A CIBIL score of 750 or above reflects financial stability and lets the bank know that the customer can be trusted to repay their credit card bills.

Existing Relationship with the Bank – If you have a salary account or deposits with the bank, it may become relatively easier for you to get your credit card application approved.

Should you close a credit card or keep it active?

Closing a credit card may only be a good option if its annual fee is really high and you rarely use it.  However, closing the card would reduce your credit utilization ratio, which in turn may negatively affect your credit score report. If the annual fee is nil or very low, you can keep it active.

Why did my credit score drop after applying for a credit card?
Banks make a hard inquiry for the applicant’s credit score at the time of credit card application. This leads to a small drop in credit score. Do note that if the applicant applies for multiple credit cards or loans then the drop in credit score can be significant.

How can I quickly increase my credit score?
To raise the credit score, customers can take the following measures:

• Timely payment of dues and EMIs
• Maintaining low credit utilization ratio regularly
• Refraining from frequent credit applications
• Checking credit report regularly for errors
