How to Apply for a Bancorpsouth Platinum Visa Credit Card

The Bancorpsouth Platinum Visa Credit Card is one of four Visas offered by BancorpSouth and is unarguably the most desirable. It boasts the same rewards program as the Gold and Standard Visas while demanding a lower APR. The catch is that the applicant has no choice as to which credit card they receive once they apply with this bank. One can only attempt to acquire a Visa or a MasterCard and their creditworthiness will dictate which option is sent to them. Even if you run the risk of acquiring an inferior credit card option, the Bancorpsouth Platinum Visa Credit Card is worth applying for as all of BancorpSouth’s cards have a low interest rate and are generally good, honest credit cards. For instructions on how to get your hands on one of your own, review our tutorial below.
