Hi, I applied for a loan recently from a High St bank who I don't have an account with..., no probs!
Went to new bank to sign forms and had to set up account facility. While I was going thru the app the loans clerk also informed me that I had been approved for the banks credit card (the way she did this made me imagine that a pop up had appeared on her screen - as it was sudden and out of sync with the way the chat was going). Anyway I was a bit staggered by this as the card was being offered with a limit that was the same as the loan value. When I declined the offer, she said the problem now was that she would have to start the application all over again.
Isn't this a bit strange?
Good luck!
