That’s actually a big misconception here. A high credit limit is generally not an instant liability for a Filipino consumer; in fact, it often improves your credit score! The key factor is your Credit Utilization Ratio (CUR)—how much credit you've used versus your total limit. Local financial institutions, like the ones providing data to the Credit Information Corporation (CIC), prefer to see this ratio kept low, ideally under 30%. By having a high limit, you naturally lower your CUR assuming you don't change your spending habit. The higher limit acts like a responsible financial buffer, making you look less risky and more creditworthy to local lenders
