About Credit One Bank

Credit One Bank is a national bank best known as a high-volume issuer for people with fair or rebuilding credit, with cards such as the Credit One Bank Platinum Visa, the Credit One Bank Platinum X5 Visa and the Credit One Bank Wander Card. Many of its entry cards carry annual fees, several earn cash back or points on everyday categories, and it also offers a secured card option.

Credit One suits you if you have been declined elsewhere and want to see offers without a hard inquiry; its pre-qualification check takes under a minute and does not affect your credit score. The limitation: annual fees on its entry cards reduce the value of a card meant to help you build credit, so compare the total yearly cost with a no-fee secured card before you accept an offer. Its name is also easy to confuse with Capital One, which is an unrelated company.

Approval rules and tips

Credit One Bank does not publish a formal limit on how often you can apply. Approval is based on your credit score, income, existing debt and recent applications — check any pre-qualification tool first, because it uses a soft inquiry.

  • Use 'See if You Pre-Qualify' on creditonebank.com; it takes under a minute and does not affect your credit score.
  • Submitting a full application after pre-qualifying triggers a hard inquiry.
  • Check the annual fee in each offer, since fees on entry cards can vary by applicant.

How to apply for a Credit One Bank card

Apply at creditonebank.com. Start with the official 'See if You Pre-Qualify' check, which uses a soft inquiry and does not affect your credit score; submitting a full application then leads to a hard inquiry. Have your name, address, date of birth, Social Security number and income ready. If you received a mailed pre-approved offer, you can accept it online using the details in the offer.
