Checking if anyone was able to apply online?

I called Branch and the person said that it is mandatory to have savings bank account. Is it so?
I tried to apply online but was unsuccessful.. also got a hard enquiry of rs10000.. although had a Union Bank digital saving account opened few month back for rupay platinum debit card.. so approached branch.. they giveup a form to fill up with some evaluation sheet.. asked for 2yr ITR , aadhar , pan etc... now again got a hard enquiry same day.. after that no sms no mail nothing. After 10 days just got a sms to link my union bnk credit card to bhim app.. checked the Union bank app it showed me credit card with last 4 digit and limit of 2lacs and also status of card is inactive... no option to activate it online... also no option of e-card like PNB... so waiting to get my physical card delivered soon. I think union bank prefer saving account holder to avoid VKYC as they dont have setup for that because for the online saving account too I had to visit the branch as last stage to get it open and activated

It took time atleast 10days.. Union bank card came thru speed post.. however i had an unexpected delivery experience, the data entry operator at union bank had put my half address ( omitted my society name from the address) , so postman was unable to loacte my address and i got sms by evening that address is incomplete unable to deliver, parcel will return to sender, but by chance, I had no of postman who delivers me pnb debit card 20 days back.. called him immediately and enquire about my parcel he took details and delivers me the card next day... so a totally pathetic experience from union bank

I'd a similar experience with AmEx 3 years back
they were sending my card to my office without putting my contact no anywhere
so cards were getting returned undelivered
and then they'd generate a new card in my name and send again, complaints were of no use, same mistake again
I really had to hustle with security and blue dart guys to get the delivery on the attempt of the 4th such card

Will it make any difference if one applies offline through home branch? Like approval process, credit card variant or limit offered?
I mean this online process was a breeze and fast.
Cibil hit would be there but the process was like 1.5 minutes
And online u can select the card you want according to your credit limit.AFAIK Offline is time consuming but its your discretion..
