Credit Score – RBL Bank will make a hard enquiry into the applicant’s credit report. It will show the bank how much credit the applicant has taken up to that point. They will also know about the payment pattern defaults if any and so on. Customers with a good credit score of 750 and above have a higher chance of getting application approval.

Debt to Income Ratio (DTI) – It is the ratio between your debts and monthly income. Customers with a low DTI score will have a higher chance of securing an American Express credit card.

Previous Credit Cards – If the customer applies for multiple credit cards or loans in a limited time frame then the banks will see the customer as credit hungry. Such individuals might get their credit card applications rejected. However, if there is a sufficient gap between the card applications then applicants who have multiple credit cards will get a new credit card easily.

Income – Income affects the credit limit that the user gets. Moreover, different RBL Bank credit cards come with different minimum income requirements.
