    Applying for a credit card online is easy and secure.

    Once you have selected the credit card you want, clicking on the apply link will take you from our site to a secure online credit card application. You can verify this application is secure by the https:// address in your browser’s window.

    Most credit card applications ask for very basic information including your name, address, social security number, and date of birth. Other information they may request includes your employer’s name and address and your annual income.

    Some credit cards give you the choice to add an additional person to your account. By putting their name on the application, you will receive an additional credit card in their name.

    Some online credit card applications will ask you if you want to transfer a balance. In this case you will want to provide the credit card numbers and the balance amounts that you wish to transfer.

    Other credit cards will wait until after you have been approved to request balance transfer information.

    Because applying for a credit card online is so easy, most applications take less than five minutes to complete.
