Applying for a Merrick Bank Double Your Line Secured Visa card is a very simple process which takes only a few minutes to complete. Everything is done online, so if you are reading this you are already half-way there. Make sure you have all your personal info at hand, and let’s do this.

On Merrick Bank’s homepage, run your cursor over the “products” tab at the top of the page to reveal a dropdown menu, and then click on “Our Cards”. Scroll down and you will see their three options, of which the Double Your Line Secured Credit Card will be in the middle. Click on “Learn More”. Now you are at a page with two card options, so click “Apply Now” near our desired credit card.

Select a color for your card, and enter your personal info such as first and last names, home address, email, phone numbers, date of birth and social security number. Then you must click “continue to the next step”. Now you must enter your financial information with your gross annual income, monthly mortgage or rent payment, and answer the “yes” or “no” question about whether you will need a debit card.

Once you hit “continue to next step” you will see the e-sign disclosure. Check the little box at the bottom to confirm that you agree and click “continue to next step”. You will now be presented with a summary of the service, so after reading it click on “continue to next step”. Then, enter your card info to make your security deposit. Once the deposit has been made, you will see the application summary, and your account is ready to go. The bank should contact you with details of your new Merrick Bank Double Your Line Secured Visa card.
