Morphology
The compound 'credit application' is directly compositional: 'credit' (a financial loan or line of credit) combined with 'application' (a written request) yields the meaning 'a request for credit'. This noun+noun combination follows common formation patterns found in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Credit application comes from the simple image of handing a paper to a bank to 'ask for credit'. The word credit means the money or loan you want and application is the written request, so together it means an official request to borrow money.
