Understanding Credit Utilisation and Considerations for Higher Credit Limits
Credit utilisation, the ratio of outstanding credit card balance to the available limit, influences credit scores but is one of several factors considered. While a higher credit limit can lower utilisation and potentially improve credit profiles, it may also encourage increased spending. Banks must obtain explicit consent before raising limits. Maintaining utilisation below 30 percent is advised, but occasional exceedance does not automatically harm credit scores. Consistent high utilisation and payment history are more significant for creditworthiness.
