   • Enter your username and password to log into your account.
3. Navigate to Application Status:

   • Dial the Chase customer service number specific for credit card inquiries: 1-800-432-3117.
3. Follow the prompts:
   • Follow the voice prompts to navigate to the credit card application status option. You might need to say “Application status” or enter a specific number corresponding to that choice.
4. Speak to a representative:
   • If the automated system does not provide the status, you can opt to speak with a customer service representative for further assistance.

Visit a branch

For those who prefer a face-to-face interaction or might be near a branch, visiting a Chase bank branch is another option to check your credit card application status.

1. Locate your nearest Chase branch:
   • Use the branch locator on the Chase website or a map application to find the closest Chase bank branch.
2. Visit the branch:
   • Head to the branch during its operating hours. It’s advisable to bring identification and any documents related to your application.

How long does it take to get a Chase business card approval?

The approval time for a Chase business credit card can vary, but typically, applicants receive a decision within 7 to 10 business days. In some cases, if further review is needed, it might take up to 30 days to get a final decision. You can check the status of your application using any of the methods described earlier if you don't receive a decision within the expected time frame.

Does 7–10 days mean denial?

No, a processing time of 7 to 10 days for a Chase business credit card does not necessarily mean a denial. This timeframe is standard for many credit card applications, allowing Chase to thoroughly review your application details and conduct necessary credit checks. 

‍

During this period, they assess your creditworthiness and confirm all provided information. If additional verification is needed or if the decision is not straightforward, the process might take longer. If you're concerned about the status of your application after this period, it's a good idea to check directly with Chase using one of the methods previously described.

What is the Chase 5/24 Rule?

The Chase 5/24 Rule is an unofficial guideline used by Chase to determine eligibility for most of their credit cards. According to this rule, if an applicant has opened five or more personal credit cards across all banks within the last 24 months, they're likely to be automatically rejected for a new Chase card. 

‍

This rule is intended to discourage frequent applications and limit the approval of new credit for individuals who have opened several credit card accounts in a short period. It's important for potential applicants to be aware of this rule as it applies to most Chase credit cards, including both consumer and business card products.

Why is my credit card application pending?

When your credit card application is marked as "pending," it typically means the issuer needs additional time to review your information before making a decision. This status often arises when further verification of your personal or financial details is required, or when the issuer is dealing with high volumes of applications. 

‍

Various factors such as your credit history, the accuracy of the application details, or internal delays can contribute to this extended review period.

‍

Here are some common reasons why your credit card application might be pending:

• Incomplete application: If any essential fields are left blank or filled incorrectly, the issuer will need more time to request the correct information.
• Credit review: The issuer may require additional time to thoroughly review your credit history, especially if there are discrepancies or your credit score is borderline for their criteria.
• Verification processes: Additional verification steps might be needed to confirm your identity, income, or employment details, particularly if the provided documents do not clearly support your application.
• Fraud checks: To prevent fraud, issuers conduct detailed checks. If something looks unusual, they might hold your application for further scrutiny.
• Operational delays: Sometimes, the delay is due to high application volumes, technical issues, or internal processes at the issuer's end.
