C.S. asked:
I have a checking account already established with a credit card from the same bank. I am unhappy with the service I have received with them and I am planning to switch to another bank.
I have a checking account already established with a credit card from the same bank. I am unhappy with the service I have received with them and I am planning to switch to another bank.
Before I close my current account, I would like to know should I start my new checking account with the new bank now and apply for a card when the account is established?
Or should I apply for a credit card now before I start the new account?
My concern is closing my current account and starting a new checking account with a new card would not look favorably for my credit. However, would starting the new checking account first make approval easier since I would have an account established with the new bank?
