An Australian bank has apologized for issuing a credit card to a cat after its security aware owner decided to test the bank's identity security system.

When Messiah the cat's owner Katherine Campbell applied for a secondary card on her account under its name, the Bank of Queensland seemed to have no problem issuing a credit card to the feline.

 

"I just couldn't believe it. People need to be aware of this and banks need to have better security," Campbell told local media on Thursday.

The bank has now cancelled Messiah's card and stated the obvious, saying, "We apologize as this should not have happened."
