What is a credit limit and how to change it.
08/09/2023What is a credit limit?
A credit card limit is the maximum amount that a credit institution (such as a bank or financial company) allows you to borrow. This limit can be used for many different purposes, such as shopping, consumer loans or business loans.
Credit limits are determined based on many factors, including:
- Your credit history: If you have a good credit history, meaning you have paid your debts on time and have a high credit score, you may be able to get a higher limit.
- Your income: High income means better repayment capacity, so you can get a higher usage amount.
- Collateral: If you have collateral for your loan, such as a house or car, you will be given priority to borrow at a lower interest rate.
