  • Don't Professional Property Traders like yourself keep accounts? Do you use a bank? How about bank statements? Won't your own bank let you have a card?

    You'll need to elaborate on what you have tried already.

    I've been self-employed from time-to-time. Never been asked for proof of income. Dunno why.
  • sorry, should have been clearer, im asking the question on behalf of my daughter she has an hsbc credit card from her time in uni which she owes 4k on she has now set up her own design business which is going well but when shes tried to apply on line for a card she has been refused she thinks because of her employment status and her inability to prove her income she has only been trading a year what would be the best card for her?

    Iv'e been self/employed for 10 years and also never had to prove my income,I think they will only ask for income if something ain't quite right with your report.
