What is a request or apply for a credit account?
It is a formal type of request letter in which you speak to a company and ask for politely opening a credit account. Since it has been named as a request letter, politeness in the tone is the key. Whenever you need any kind of favor or want to apply for something, you will need to write a request letter.
Why write a request for opening a credit account?
People want to open credit accounts with a business from where they purchase products or services frequently. It becomes really hard for us to manage to pay the service provider in the form of cash because of the unavailability of cash. To get rid of this situation, most businesses open a credit account with other businessmen.
This credit account enables them to buy products and services without needing to pay the other party on the spot. They can pay via their credit card and pay the whole amount later with interest. Asking for opening a credit account is like applying for a loan and therefore, you are required to write a request letter.
