Employment Status

Hi, I have recently started a new job and currently have 2 credit cards. Do I have to wait before I can apply for a new credit card?
Hi Leigh,

It will depend upon the specific lending criteria of the bank.

Thy may be satisfied with your previous work history, particularly if you have spent a long period of time in the same job and if the new job is in the same industry/field.

I recommend contacting the financial institution and explaining your situation. They may encourage you to wait a few months before applying.

I hope this helps.

Cameron.
