Frequently Asked Question

It can. A lower credit limit may increase the credit utilization ratio, which can negatively impact your credit score if balances remain the same over time.

How can I improve my score?

  • Focusing on consistent, on-time payments has the most impact on your score.
  • Reducing balances where possible will help lower utilization and can improve your score.
