Bank issues credit card to a cat
While most cats rely on their owners or their natural hunting instincts for food, one Australian cat gained the opportunity to buy his own after an Australian bank issued it with its own credit card. An Australian bank has apologized for issuing a credit card to a cat after its owner decided to test the bank's identity security system.
The Bank of Queensland issued a credit card to Messiah the cat after his owner Katherine Campbell applied for an additional card on her account under the cats name.
"I just couldn't believe it. People need to be aware of this and banks need to have better security," said Campbell to local Queensland media on Thursday.
The bank said the cat's card had been canceled. "We apologize as this should not have happened," it said in a statement.
