How do I submit a credit limit increase for a secured credit card?

If you’d like to request a credit limit increase for your secured credit card, we can help. To qualify for a credit limit increase, your account needs to be:

      • Open for six (6) months*
      • Not over the limit
      • In good standing

Since your credit card account has a deposit to secure the credit limit, you’ll need to send your request in writing. Here’s how:

  1. In your written request you’ll need to include the following:
    • Your first and last name
    • 16-digit credit card number
    • Your individual annual income, source of income, monthly housing payment, and indicate whether you own or rent your home.
    • Alimony, child support, or separate maintenance income doesn’t need to be revealed if you don’t want it considered as a basis for repaying this obligation. 
    • Your signature
  1. A cashier's check or money order for the amount you'd like to increase. Please make it out to U.S. Bank National Association.
    • For example, if your credit limit is $300 and you'd like a $500 credit limit, the check or money order amount needs to be $200.
    • The final credit limit must be divisible by $100.
  2. Mail your request to the address below.
