How many Lines of Credit should I have?

The amount of Lines of Credit you should have depends on your financial needs and budget. Many people have multiple Lines of Credit at one time.

This can help you when you're applying for a loan or a mortgage and can also help you get approved for better loan interest rates.

How does a Line of Credit work?

When applying for a personal Line of Credit, apply just once and receive approval up to a specific credit limit. Perfect credit not needed. Then, withdraw money as you need it up to your approved amount. You only pay interest on the money you withdraw, and the rest remains available if needed. You can payback all at once or over time.
