Step 1 - Beginning the Application

There are two potential outcomes depending on whether you have received a credit limit increase invitation:

Scenario 1 - You have received a credit limit increase invitation

If you have received an invitation and campaign code (that has not expired), the "Start Application" page will appear with two available options:

  • “I have received an invitation to apply for a credit limit increase" - you will be required to enter your campaign code supplied with your invitation.
    After selecting this option you will  be able to choose between applying for the limit in the invitation letter, a higher* or lesser amount. An “Available Monthly Income Calculator” is provided to assist you in determining the credit limit you would like to apply for.
    Once completed, you will need to provide confirmation that you have sufficient monthly income for the credit limit increase you’re applying for and  may also be requested for consent to a credit check. These are both completed by ticking the relevant checkbox.
    Clicking “Submit” then completes your credit limit increase application.
    Skip to Step 7.

    *Note: if you apply for a higher amount you will be required to provide further information. Skip to Step 4.

     
  • "I have not received an invitation..." - if you do not have the campaign code available or have entered the code incorrectly
    If you're unable to provide a campaign code, you will be presented with the opportunity to select or provide the credit limit increase amount you would like to apply for.
    Skip to Step 2.

 
Scenario 2 - You have not received a credit limit increase invitation

If you have not received an invitation, you will be provided with the opportunity to select or provide the credit limit increase amount you would like to apply for.
