ByHow to Increase Your SunTrust Credit Limit
It's generally a good thing to have more money available to spend. When using a credit card, it's your credit limit that determines how much is available, and that's set by the bank that issues the credit card. While you could wait for your credit card limit to increase as you prove you're a responsible purchaser, you may want to request a credit limit increase.
Having a higher credit limit can decrease your overall credit utilization, which is your spending divided by your credit limit, which in turn improves your credit score. If you have a credit card from SunTrust (or Truist), you can rely on DoNotPay to help request your .
How to Request a Credit Limit Increase From SunTrust on Your Own
You can request a SunTrust credit card limit increase by calling 800-477-9702 and speaking with a SunTrust representative. In February 2022, SunTrust Bank will merge with BB&T to create the new bank of Truist. However, business is expected to continue as usual at the more than 1,400 SunTrust Bank branches in the United States.
When Can I Request a Credit Limit Increase?
Not everyone is eligible to receive a credit limit increase. If your credit card is new or is a secured credit card, you won't be able to get a credit limit increase. In addition, if your limit recently was decreased, you also won't be able to request an increase.
The best time to request a credit limit increase is after you've gotten a raise or a new job and when you have good credit and a good track record. That good track record comes from paying your bills on time for 6 to 12 months and from having a low utilization rate.
What Information Will SunTrust Ask For?
When requesting a credit limit increase, you'll likely be asked about your income, employment, and housing expenses. Income includes money you get from:
- Work
- Retirement Income
- Interest and Dividends
- Public Assistance
The bank also wants to know your employment status and how much you pay for rent or mortgage.
Things to Consider Before Requesting a Credit Limit Increase From SunTrust
Be aware that requesting a credit limit increase could result in a hard inquiry on your credit report. If this happens, it can lower your credit score. If this is a concern, then you'll want to make sure a hard pull isn't necessary.
