Common credit card account changes

You can add up to 3 additional cardholders to your account, as long as they’re aged 18 or over. Adding an additional card holder could help you to keep track of joint spending in one place.
Each cardholder will get their own card and PIN to use, giving them access to your credit limit.
Just be aware that:
- Requests are dependent on our security checks.
- As the main cardholder, you’ll be responsible for all spending and repayments on the account.
- If you remove a cardholder, you’re responsible for their credit card until it’s destroyed. If you can’t get the card back, please call us. It’s useful to know that you can freeze cards or certain transaction types using the Mobile Banking app, giving you control over how it’s used.
- Additional cardholders won’t be able to access or manage your account, online or otherwise. If you need help with managing your account, our help pages are a good place to start.
You can’t remove a cardholder by using our app, however this can be done by logging on through our website.

You can increase your credit limit if you need more flexibility on your existing credit card. You can also decrease your credit limit to make your credit limit work for you.
Before increasing your credit limit with Lloyds Bank, you’ll need to have at least three months of payment history on your account. When you send your request, we may complete a credit check to help us to make a further lending decision.
Before you increase your credit limit, just ask yourself:
- Does this offer suit my borrowing needs, or should I consider other options?
- Will I be able to make repayments, even if my circumstances change?
You can request to decrease your credit limit at any time, but it’s important to know that this could affect your credit score in the short term, because the ratio between utilised and available credit will increase. That contributes to the calculation of your overall score.
Using Internet banking – log on or register to get started. From your credit card account summary, select ‘More actions’, then ‘Manage credit limit’.
Using the Mobile Banking app – you can request a credit limit increase only.
If we offer you a credit limit increase
From time to time we may write to you offering a credit limit increase, although you don’t have to take it if we do. You’ll have the option to accept or decline the offer, with at least 30 days’ notice.If you would rather not to be offered credit limit increases, you can change your preferences by calling us.

You can change your payment due date to better suit your needs. For example, if you usually receive your salary later than your due date falls.

- Log on to Internet Banking. From your credit card account summary, select ‘More actions’, then ‘Paying your credit card’. Here, select ‘Request payment due date change’.
If you don’t bank online, you can call us.
Just be aware, your change may apply to a future payment, rather than the next one, depending when you make your request.

Change or unlock your PIN
You can change or unlock your PIN at any UK Cashpoint displaying the LINK logo. Of course you’ll want to pick something that’s easy to remember, but make sure it’s not easy for someone else to guess.
If you’ve locked your card by using the wrong PIN, you can also unlock it at a LINK Cashpoint, although you’ll need to know the right PIN to do this.
