Select the “Apply Now” button below to begin the pre-approval process, which won’t affect your credit scores. You’ll only be allowed to apply if you’re pre-approved. If you do apply, that will require a hard inquiry on your credit reports (normal for credit applications), which can negatively affect your scores slightly.
Petal will typically provide an instant decision, but in some cases it may ask for more information.
The Petal 1 Card is designed for people with poor or no credit, so it’s relatively accessible even if you’ve struggled with credit problems in the past.
If you have a credit history, Petal will check it when you apply (just like most credit card issuers). But if you haven’t established any credit or don’t have enough history to calculate credit scores, Petal will need to connect to your bank account to check your banking history.
In this case, Petal will determine a “Cash Score” based on how you earn and spend money. Your Cash Score will be used for the application decision.
