bank statements for credit card application

When you apply for a new credit card, it is easy to focus only on your credit score and ignore the income box on the application. Your credit score describes how you have handled debt in the past, but your income tells a lender whether you can realistically handle more debt right now. Lenders look at your earnings to decide how high a credit limit you can manage without overextending yourself, and in some cases, whether they will approve you at all.
