Capital One Classic?

Hi all,
Just recently applied for a Classic credit card with Capital One. I have a HSBC business commercial card which I pay off the payments every month but for my personal account I wish to build my credit status. I used to go overdrawn with my personal account but have stopped this in the last four years.

When I applied I received this message:

'One of our team will now perform additional checks, which typically take 7 working days. In a small number of cases we may need more information to complete your application - if so, we'll write and let you know.'

But I signed an agreement online and passed through the online credit check??

What do you recommend I do now and is it a likely hood I will be accepted?

    Recommend that you wait to hear from them in a week or so.

    You've not been instantly accepted or instantly declined. Quite a lot of applications are referred, it means your application and credit file will be looked at by a person not just a computer.
    A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give
    or "It costs nowt to be nice"
