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, which 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:
- Additional cardholder requests are subject to 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 contact 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 to manage your account, our customer support pages are a good place to start.

You can choose to increase your credit limit if you need more flexibility on your existing credit card, or decrease it if you’d like to limit the amount of credit available to you.
Before increasing your credit limit with Lloyds Bank, you’ll need to have at least 6 months of payment history on your account. When you submit 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.

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 correct PIN to do this.
