Back from the dead approval

[Meanmchine]

A month ago, I cold apped for the G-Bank Siggy Visa card.  Was approved for $9.6k "subject to identity verification."

Chiit.

I  got a bad feeling.  They asked me to take a phote of ID with my phone and then did a 30 second facial selfie

UNABLE TO VERIFY

My phone cameras are a piece of krapp.  

I called cust service and asked if I could redo the verification with a different phone.  I  was told once it is denied because for verification, the app is closed and cant be appealed.

I  said skrew it and apped for and approved for USBank Alt Go card.

Fast forward to yesterday when I got an email from G-Bank telling  me my application has been APPROVED.  Card should arrive in  7 days.

Separate email was a link where I could get full account details and start using account immediately.

Their online account setup is kinda screwey. Took a bit to finish it. Example, you cant activate your account unless you select a pin for atm withdrawls.  ( I think their credit card and debit card activation share the same activation program)

Approved for the original $9.6k, Apr unknown. HP Experian 838 pulled

Congrats on getting the GBank visa, I got a Preapproval letter from them did not go through the process I have skittish feeling about this bank. I do not want to take the chance that I would have problem with visual verification I am blind and my eyes do not focus, Couple months ago I renewed my passport and had problem with face scan was able to over come this US gov by signing  that I am blind don't think that it would be that easy with G Bank.

Interesting verification process. But glad it turned out well for you in the end.

Congrats on both approvals! Enjoy your new cards.

Gratz! It reminds me of when the warning says... Do Not Hit Button More Than Once... and eight cups of coffee have kicked in...

Congratulations on your new found liquidity!

I see someone has decided to follow in my footsteps with GBank. Be aware that this card is seriously missing certain features that would make it worth using compared to other 2% cards. You cannot do most servicing like change the due date, changing products(no other accounts), CLi's, etc. The issuer is reasonably easy to approve and I guess the verification is not that hard. I did have a better camera though perhaps.

Personally I like the white card design that reminds me of Blispay and the fact that now you can say your a real G.
