Frequently asked

Can I get a credit card in the Netherlands without a salary?

Yes. Several issuers — mostly digital banks — set no minimum income requirement. Approval is based on identity and account standing rather than a payslip, though credit limits may start low.

Which no-income-requirement card ranks highest?

Revolut Card currently leads this ranking, followed by bunq Credit Card, based on fees and features.

Are these cards suitable for students?

Usually yes — no income requirement and no (or low) fees make them the most realistic option for students, provided you are 18+ and have a Dutch or EU bank account for repayment.
