Here's your credit card, meow?

Nowadays, it just seems easier and easier to get a bank to issue a credit card to you. But who knew it would be this easy.

SYDNEY, Jan 4 (Reuters Life!) - An Australian bank has apologized for issuing a credit card to a cat after its owner decided to test the bank’s identity security system.

The Bank of Queensland issued a credit card to Messiah the cat when his owner Katherine Campbell applied for a secondary card on her account under its name.

I just couldn’t believe it. People need to be aware of this and banks need to have better security,” Campbell told local media on Thursday.

The bank said the cat’s card had been canceled. “We apologize as this should not have happened,” it said in a statement.


I should try this some time :P
