Help translating letter from Bank - Germany

Is there a problem in opening my account?

Cherrius
Hi there. I have recently applied to open a bank account with DKB-Cash. I received a letter from them today and there are two paragraphs which I do not quite understand. A rough online translation gave me the idea that they have to verify something before they can open my account OR I can't open my account because of a verification problem. ANy kind souls able to summarise the following paragraphs? Thanks!

"Aufgrund der faktischen Kreditvergabe durch die Nutzungsmoglichkeiten der ec(Maestro)-karte bzw. VISA-Card werden diverse Merkmale der Antragssteller analysiert.

Im Rahmen der standardisierten DKB-Cash-Antragsbearbeitung und unserer geschaftspolitischen Ausrichtung sind wir zu dem Ergebnis gekommen, dass wir Ihrem Wunsch auf Eroffnung eines DKB-Cash derzeit nicht nachkommen konnen."

Cheers!

In summary (but not literally translated):

Because of the credit implications of issuing of an EC or Visa card attention is paid certain aspects of the application (applicant)

As part of the processing of your application and according to the business principles of the bank they have come to the conclusion that they are not able to accede to your request to open a DKB-cash account.

In short they have some sort of scoring system for new customers and you didn't get the score needed to accept you as a customer.
