  • Can I increase/decrease my credit limit?

    Within the first 90 days of opening your credit card account, if you didn't choose the maximum credit limit we offered, you can select ‘Credit Limit’ in the IKEA Financial Services mobile app, and if you're eligible, using the slider increase or decrease your limit. This can only be completed only once within the first 90 days.

    Increasing your credit limit

    Before we can consider increasing your credit limit, you’ll need to have at least six months payment history on your account. When you make your request, we might complete a credit and affordability check.

    Before increasing your credit limit, think carefully. Make sure you can still make repayments if your situation changes and consider whether there are other options that might suit your needs better. 

    Decreasing your credit limit

    You can decrease your credit limit at any time, however, avoid choosing a limit to close to your balance. You also may not be able to increase the limit again in the near future.

    Decreasing could affect your credit score in the short term. The difference between the amount you’ve borrowed and the total amount of credit for you, affects the calculation of your overall score.

    If you would like to decrease your credit limit, please call 0333 155 4646.

    If we offer you a credit limit increase

    From time to time, we might offer you a credit limit increase (if you've opted to receive these offers). When you applied for your IKEA Family credit card, we asked you about how you would like to manage credit limit increase offers, the options are:

    • ask me before increasing my limit
    • apply limit increases automatically
    • don’t offer any increases.

    If you asked for the offer to be made and you decide whether to accept it, we'll communicate this to you. You’ll have the option to accept or decline the offer, with at least 30 days’ notice. If you don’t accept it, the offer will simply expire – we won’t increase your credit limit without your consent.

    If you asked us to apply increases automatically – we'll do this and communicate when we do, letting you know the date the increase will be available to you.

    If you asked us not to offer any increases when you applied – we’ll not offer this.

    Want to review your options? 

    If you want to change your options at any time about credit limit increases – you can let us know by logging into the on the IKEA Financial Services mobile app and selecting ‘Credit Limit Consent.’
