Choice Bank receives credit card applications that need to be reviewed for a decision. There are two types of applications; preapproved, and non-preapproved. Preapproved applications only need a quick review and therefore take 6 minutes to process. Applications that are not preapproved need a secondary credit check and take 15 minutes to process.
The bank receives 10 preapproved applications every hour and 6 applications that are not preapproved every hour.
