We require at least six months payment history on your account before you can request an increase of your credit limit. You can decrease your credit limit at any time after your card has been activated.
You can apply to increase or decrease your credit limit online, simply select the ‘more actions’ button on your credit card account and then the ‘manage credit limit’ button, or you can call 0345 964 5645 (Lines are open 9am – 6pm Monday – Saturday).
From time to time we may write to you offering a credit limit increase. If this happens, we will give you 30 days notice before any change will take effect. Should you wish to decline the change, call 0345 964 5645 (Lines are open 9am – 6pm Monday – Saturday).
You can change or unlock your credit card PIN at any cash machine that displays the Link symbol. You cannot unlock your PIN abroad.
If you've forgotten your PIN, you can get an instant reminder in the Mobile Banking app. Find out how to check your PIN in the app.
If you don’t have the app, you can find out how to download it here.
If you’d prefer a paper reminder, we can send you a PIN reminder in the post. You’ll receive it in 3-5 working days.
