[Resolved]  Standard Chartered Bank — standard chartered credit card application is rejected without any reason

I frequently receive promotional emails & phone calls from standard chartered bank for applying for a credit card. I normally ignore but this time opted to apply for this. To avoid any fraud, I choose to apply online (#CCHR539A3V) on[protected]. I checked the status after 4-5 days, it says they can not offer me card at this time. I wrote them multiple emails asking for reason - all I am getting as response is - I did not meet certain criterion. I did multiple email communication with them (still continuing..), but I am getting a copy paste response on each mail. It is really disappointing, I know any bank is suppose to share the reason of rejection of any credit card . loan to customer as per RBI guideline http://www.rbi.org.in/scripts/bs_circularindexdisplay.aspx/BS_CircularIndexDispl... I even forwarded them the link and asked to provide me details. Surprisingly again there was similar response that "they regret but can not share the reason." Anyone please can you help me if there are any other mode of escalation in standard chartered to highlight they are not following a basic guideline setup by RBI. Thanks, Avinash

Hi,

It is not appropriate to put my contact # on the public forum, I would not do that.

If it is a serious attempt to address my concern, you can easily find it using my application reference number #CCHR539A3V. Or let me know the email ID or direct contact # where I can contact you. For now, I have already send my details again on your customer care email id Customer.[protected]@sc.com.

Can you post your bank's policy on the issue I raised - "why your bank is reluctant to share the reason for rejection of a credit card application"

Hoping to hear back.

Thanks,
Avi

I share the required details. But unfortunately bank is not sharing the reason - all they are saying that I do not meet some of their internal criterion and they can not disclose that to me as per internal policies. I actually started to think if bank is not bound to share the reason for rejection as per RBI policy or I am missing something here. This is more of a customer right or understanding the RBI policy in this regard for me than getting a credit card from standard chartered.

Dear Mr. Verma,

This is with reference to your e-mail dated November 05, 2013

We understand from your communication that you wish know about the rejection status. In this regard, we would like to clarify that on receipt of credit card application we will do various internal verifications like address verification, income documents, CIBIL score etc. As communicated in our earlier response that we are currently unable to offer you the above facility, since your application did not meet the certain internal criteria, as per our bank policy.

Also we do not disclose our internal policy guidelines with regard to the credit card application process. Hence we are unable to accede your request in this regard.

We assure you that this does not, in any manner, undermine your credit worthiness or standing with our bank. It is always a matter of disappointment when we are unable to accede to a request from our customer.

Assuring you of our best services always,

Yours sincerely,

On behalf of Standard Chartered Bank
