What Is The CIBIL™ Score Needed For An Axis Bank Credit Card

What is the minimum CIBIL™ score needed for Axis Bank Credit Cards?

Axis Bank requires the applicants to have a minimum credit score of 750 to be eligible for any of the available credit cards of the bank. A credit score lower than 750 up to 650 can still be considered for the issue of credit cards by the bank. However, in such a case, the rate of interest is higher than in the case of a person having a minimum credit score of 750.

If the credit score is 600 or less, the credit card application is most likely to be rejected. The risk of default or delay in repayment of credit card dues in such case is considered to be quite high.

A credit score issued by CIBIL™ that is closer to 900 is considered to be favourable by the Bank. On the other hand, a CIBIL™ score closer to 300 is considered to be unfavourable and risky by the bank. The credit card application in such cases is most likely rejected.

What is the CIBIL™ score?

Lenders require the credit score of the applicants as the basis for reviewing the credit card application of the applicants apart from the other eligibility criteria of the bank. The credit score is the credit rating issued by the authorized credit rating agencies. These credit-rating agencies provide the credit score as a measure of the creditworthiness of the applicants. This provides the lenders with an assurance of the viability of the line of credit provided to the applicants.

There are four credit rating agencies in India. These agencies are, 

• CIBIL™
• Equifax
• Experian
• CRIF Highmark

Axis Bank refers to the credit scores issued by CIBIL™ for the issue of credit cards. These scores are a three-digit number that can be issued in the range of 300 to 900.

What are the most common factors that may lead to the rejection of Axis Bank credit cards?

Axis Bank can reject your credit card application on account of a lower credit score. There may also be other reasons for such rejection of the application. Some of such factors are mentioned below.

Non-payment of past credit card dues

When the cardholder fails to repay any previous credit card dues, the chances of rejection of the credit card application are high.

Non-payment of past loan EMIs

Non-payment of any loan EMI also accounts for the rejection of credit card applications.

Settlement of any previous debt

If the cardholder has settled any previous debt, it will reflect poorly on the credit score of the applicant. This will lead to a reduction in the credit score of the applicant which will eventually result in rejection of the credit card application.

Exceeding the monthly credit card limit of the cardholder

The cardholder has to ensure that they do not exceed the credit limit allotted to them for any period. If the cardholder exceeds this limit consistently, this may eventually lead to rejection of credit card application.
