You can get a Verve Credit Card credit limit increase by making a request online or over the phone at (866) 449-4514. Alternatively, you may also get a Verve Credit Card credit limit increase without asking, if your account is in good standing for at least 6 months.
What you should know before requesting a Verve Credit Card credit limit increase:
- To be eligible for a credit limit increase, you must have no late payments or delinquencies on your Verve Credit Card account for the first six billing cycles.
- The Verve Credit Card’s issuer will perform a hard pull on your credit report to check whether you qualify for a higher credit limit.
- The Verve Credit Card credit limit can be increased to a maximum of $2,000, as long as you meet the credit score and income requirements.
Note that you could be eligible for a Verve Credit Card credit limit increase without even requesting one. The issuer may offer an automatic credit limit increase if their regular review of your account shows a history of on-time payments and low debt.
An automatic credit limit increase involves a soft pull, which does not affect your credit score.
