Amex Credit Card Limit
Credit limit can be defined as the maximum amount of credit a bank extends to a customer through a line of credit. This is maximum amount that a cardholder can use on a credit card. American Express offers a plethora of credit cards to their customers. However, each credit card comes with its own credit limit. While the credit limit can be increased or decreased, utilising more than the allowed credit limit can invite over-limit charges. Let’s find out more about credit limit on Amex credit cards.
