1. Pay your bills on time

If you always pay your card bill late, know that in addition to not seeing it increase, in some cases, it may even decrease.

Certainly no institution will increase the credit limit of a customer who is unable to pay their card bill on time.

Therefore, pay attention to due dates. If you are paying at a lottery shop, pay at least two days before the due date.

However, the ideal option is to set up direct debit and always have money available in the account before the due date.

This will certainly create bonds of trust between you and the institution. If you have confidence in the operation, your limit will increase!

2. Make the most of your credit card and the account it is linked to

We have a mistaken idea that banks do not want to give us credit, but on the contrary, they do want to give us credit and that we make the most of their services. 

However, they also want security in the operation and to know that they are giving credit to a good paying customer.

The only way to be seen as a good payer is to buy and pay correctly, but don't worry, you don't need to go out and buy like crazy.

For this, your bank has other services that can help you be seen as a good payer and create a bond that will help you increase your credit card limit.

You can, for example, transfer your salary to the account where you want to increase the limit and carry out banking transactions there.

So, pay your bills through the bank app.

 Set up automatic debit for essential bills such as water, electricity and gas, top up your cell phone and bus ticket, invest, use your virtual and physical card frequently, etc.

3. Keep your income up to date

By knowing your financial profile and consumption habits, the institution can better define the ideal credit limit for your needs.

Therefore, it is important to always keep your income up to date, the best way to do this, as previously mentioned, is by transferring your salary.

4. Keep your name clean

Being listed as a defaulter even if you already have credit on the market can prevent your limit from increasing.

So, be careful! Pay your bills on time and don't spend your entire budget on installment payments.

5. Increase your score

The score is your financial resume, that is, your history of good payment.

 There are some practices that can help increase your credit score faster, for example, not delaying paying bills.
