They do not lwt you know why they deny you so go figure. I prefer the US system where its quite clear.
I wish EU would open up the credit markets too, one should be free to bank where one wants to...
Couple of years ago, i applied a credit increase from Sampo/Dansk from 8k to 15k. They declined and gave me 10k instead.
The reason is that they see i have few tens thousands in the debit account and tell me use the debit.
I was speechless. thought credit card generate more revenue for them?
