What do 'pre-approved' and 'card approved' mean?

Pre-approved means you will get accepted for the card, and at the rate advertised, providing the information you give is accurate and you pass the lender's checks (which may include a responsible lending check using open banking information).

Card approved means that you will get accepted for the card, providing the information you give is accurate and you pass the lender's checks, but could be offered a different rate to that advertised.
