Credit card app let me sign online - but didn't give me a decision

in Credit cards
I applied for the Leeds BS cashback card this morn and the app asked me to do an online signature at the end but then proceeded to say they couldn't give me an instant decision. Is this perhaps because they couldn't electronically verify my details? Does the fact it asked me to sign online mean I am likely to be accepted? I've never applied for a card which asks for an online signature before. Does the online sig just mean that IF I am accepted they can process it faster but I could still be declined?

Thanks for any help anyone can provide!

PS It didn't give me a reference number or anything, only a telephone number for if I had any qs: 0800 587 2542

    Afraid so... I have signed loads of electronic signatures just to be declined via mail about a week later. :rolleyes:

    Doh! I don't think I will be accepted as I think I have a lot of available credit in relation to my income and I have applied for a credit card in the last 3 months...
