Banana Republic got its start in 1978 as the "Banana Republic Travel & Safari Clothing Company," known for turning military surplus into fashion. The store was an instant success, in part because of the release of a string of Hollywood blockbuster hits, like Raiders of the Lost Ark, Out of Africa, and Romancing the Stone.
In 1983 Gap Inc bought out and rebranded the clothing line to what it is today: Banana Republic. It sells higher-end luxury clothes and partners with Barclays Bank on a Banana Republic Store Card and a Banana Republic Rewards Mastercard.
The Banana Republic Store Card is a closed-loop card, only usable at Banana Republic, Old Navy, Gap, and Athleta stores. The Mastercard card is an open-loop card, and you can use it anywhere Mastercard is accepted. It's designed for people with excellent, good, or fair credit scores that range from 620 to 720+.
There's only one application process, and the issuing bank will decide which card you qualify for. If your credit score isn't high enough to get approved for the Mastercard, you'll automatically be considered for the store card (unless your credit is poor or bad).

Q: What's the minimum payment I can make on my credit card bill?
A: The minimum payment is either $27 or 1% of your balance, whichever amount is greater.
Q: What credit bureau does Banana Republic use to see if I qualify for their card?
A: While they can use any of the three big credit bureaus, the lender, Synchrony, uses TransUnion nearly exclusively.
Q: What are the interest charges on a Banana Republic credit card?
A: The store card APR is 23.87%, while the Mastercard card APR is 21.2%, above the average credit card APR of 15%. This makes it especially important to pay off your bill every month rather than carrying a balance from month to month.
