Does Wells Fargo give instant credit card approval?

Wells Fargo does offer the possibility of instant approval for their credit cards. This means that when you apply for a Wells Fargo credit card online, you could receive a decision within minutes. However, receiving instant approval is not guaranteed for every application. Once approved, it typically takes about 7 to 10 business days for the card to be delivered to you.

Why is my credit card application pending?

When your credit card application status is "pending," it means the issuer needs more time to review your submitted information. This typically occurs when further verification of personal or financial details is required, or during high application volumes.

‍

Several factors can extend this review, such as your credit history, the precision of the application data, and internal delays within the issuer's processes.

‍

Common reasons for pending applications include:

• Incomplete application: Missing or incorrect details need correcting.
• Credit review: Additional time is required to thoroughly assess your credit history, especially if discrepancies exist or your credit score is borderline.
• Verification steps: Additional measures to confirm your identity, income, or employment may be necessary.
• Fraud checks: To prevent fraud, issuers conduct detailed reviews which can delay processing.
• Operational delays: High application volumes, technical issues, or internal policies might also cause delays.
