Discovery Bank - No Credit Card

Although opening a Transactional Account was easy, somehow during the sign up process I did not tick the 'Credit Card' Option.

I was then unable to add this as an account.

I have now been told that although it is possible to have a credit card from the initial sign up. it is not possible to add it at a later stage. Apparently this process is in 'testing' and not ready (although you can get it from the get-go which seems contradictory)

This is more than slightly annoying for me as I have just cancelled all my Std Bank accounts, including credit card, and really need access to a credit card ASAP.

Reviewer Update
Thank you for your reply. My main concern is that it does seems though the functionality to have a credit card is up and running, but not if you didn't select up-front. Is that correct?

Good day Paul 

That is correct, you can only apply for credit at the start of your application. However, if you select the Transaction account only and complete the application, you will not be able to add a credit card account at a later stage as the function is not live as yet. 

Our developers are currently working on the add credit card account function and we expect it to go live soon. 

Kind regards
