I have an account at Chase, and my overdraft limit goes up every six months—roughly $333—since my salary keeps climbing. I pull in about $2667 a month. I'm on a flexible plan with a limit of $13.
The bank sets the limit themselves based on my last three months of income plus some percentage. I don't know their exact math, but there's zero chance I can just walk into Zions Bancorporation tomorrow, claim I'm on a flexible plan, and demand a $13 limit.
My point stands—overdraft limits are tied to income. It usually caps out at three times what I make, which would be $8.00 for me, so there's no way I could get $13.
So yeah, I still think you're full of it this time... 😁
Hardly. I'm speaking from experience. My husband and I have a joint household account; our combined income is $6,000.00 and we have an authorized overdraft of $25,000.00 (thankfully we haven't needed it yet), and I'm convinced we'd need even more if necessary. Six months ago, my individual income was $2,000.00 and I was approved for an $11,000.00 limit. So, go ahead, explain that logic to me. Apparently, I have privileges.🤣🤣🤣
In any case, I know that for slightly higher approvals, they look at everything: how long you've been a client, if you pay all your debts on time, your credit score status (never been on a blacklist, thank God)...
And from my own experience, I know that if you're perfect in every category, if things get tight, we can make an exception.👍
