Issuing credit cards to customers who does not own a bank account with the same bank is a risk banks take. How do you think they deal with it?

The difference between issuing a card for an account holder and non-holder, is you can not control their balance, thus possibility of default is higher.

It's a risk and banks' Risk Management has to deal with it by mitigating this risk. Banks can use insurance policies for mitigating this risk. Also, the KYC and customer investigation made by banks before issuing credit cards to their customers is one of the key elements for managing and mitigating the risk. 

 

At the end, this kind of risk comes under counterparty credit risk and all laws and regulations have put in place some rules to reduce these contractual violation cases.

The risk is mitigated by

1. Acquiring a 120% (or greater) cash margin

2. Enhanced due diligence on the customer

3. Acquiring an insurance coverage on the potential loss
