How do you get approved for a Petal card? This question is about Petal Credit Cards

To get approved for a Petal card, you are required to have a valid email address, a U.S. telephone number, and a Social Security number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number. Applicants must also be at least 18 years old and a permanent resident of the United States or a U.S. military location. Having limited credit or better and earning enough money to pay your bills is required for approval as well. Minimum Petal Card Requirements for Approval 18+ years old U.S. mailing address SSN or ITIN At least limited/fair credit Enough income to pay bills Low debt compared to income Valid email address Valid U.S. telephone number No bankruptcy in the past 48 months No open Petal card account No prior applications for a Petal card You may be required to provide a U.S. or foreign government-issued photo ID, or to link a U.S. bank account if your credit profile does not provide enough information for Petal to make a decision. If they do ask for your bank account information, Petal will generate a “Cash Score” when they review your banking history. This will help them determine whether you have enough disposable income to pay your credit card bills. Finally, it’s worth noting that Petal will automatically conduct a soft pull on your credit in the beginning of the application process to see if you could qualify for one of their cards. While pre-approval never guarantees approval, it will bode well for your approval odds.

Answer Question

What's the Petal 2 Visa credit score requirement?

The Petal® 2 Visa® Credit Card is available to people with limited credit. That means you do not need to have a credit score to get approved for the Petal® 2 Visa® Credit Card.

Having said that, it is also worth mentioning that if you have already established a credit history, you will need at least fair (640+) credit to get this card.... read full answer

You should note that while your credit score is an important factor, there are plenty of other things that will impact your chances of being approved for the Petal 2 Card Card, too. Some other key criteria include your income, existing debt load, number of open accounts, recent credit inquiries, employment status and housing status.

If you excel in other areas, you might be able to get approved with a slightly lower credit score in some cases. But it’s best to wait to apply until you meet the Petal 2 Card credit score requirement. You can check your credit score for free on WalletHub.
