Do I have to go to the counter to activate my Meituan credit card?

Meituan has launched co-branded credit cards with many cooperative banks, such as Bank of Shanghai, Bank of Guangzhou, Bank of Qingdao, Bank of Guilin, Bank of Jiangsu, Bank of Hangzhou, Bank of Tianjin, Bank of Guizhou, etc. When applying for a Meituan credit card, whether you have to go to the bank branch counter to activate it after getting the card mainly depends on the customer's application channel.

Meituan credit card can be applied for through online channels, on the official website of the card-issuing bank or on the Meituan APP, Dianping APP, and Meituan Takeaway APP; you can also apply directly at offline outlets.

If the customer goes to a bank offline branch to apply for a Meituan credit card, activation generally does not require going to the branch counter. After getting the card, the customer can log in to online banking/mobile banking to activate.

If you apply online, and it is the first time you apply for a credit card online at the card-issuing bank, and you have not handled business with the card-issuing bank before, the card-issuing bank may require the customer to come to a branch in order to confirm the customer's identity. After the interview, the card naturally needs to be activated at the branch counter.
