How to increase your Revolving Loan or Overdraft limit

As living costs increase over time, your financial needs also change. A lot could have changed since you last applied for your Revolving Loan or Overdraft  with Standard Bank. Perhaps you moved homes, changed jobs or got married. Maybe everything is still the same, but you need access to more funds in case of unexpected expenses. Whatever your reason, changing your loan or overdraft limit shouldn’t be a hassle.

What are the benefits of increasing my limit?

1. Emergency back-up
   If you have an emergency or unexpected expense, you can have peace of mind knowing that you have access to extra funds without applying for a new loan.
2.  Helps avoid too many loans
   If you need extra money you might think of taking out another loan. However, by increasing your Revolving Loan or Overdraft limit, you don’t have to stress about paying off different loans or accounts every month.
3.  Improves your credit score
   Taking out a new loan, credit card or overdraft can shorten the length of your credit history. Simply put, a longer credit history can improve your credit score, which is why it’s recommended to rather increase the limit of your Revolving Loan or Overdraft.
