Home Number Needed for Barclaycard?

Hi all,

I have recently applied for a new Barclaycard credit account.

They have not confirmed or denied if I have been approved - I have been asked to provide further information ( I.D confirmation), however, part of this is providing a "Home" phone number - which I do not have as, due to having a mobile phone, have not required one for many years.

I do have my work landline I could put down.

Would this be likely to impact on the outcome?

Thanks

    Put your mobile as your home number.
  • Pretty sure that's what I did on the application as it was a mandatory field...

    If a landmine number was a requirement they would miss out on a lot of customers these days...

    I think landmines in general would certainly reduce the number of customers...

    Could be one of the fields that help them determine risk, remembering each lender has it's own credit matrix/scorecard for underwriting.
