The Central Bank of Iran (CBI) has increased the credit card limit by four times allowing banks to offer up to USD 8,000 in credit.

The measure is in line with CBI efforts to institutionalise the use of credit cards as a resourceful and accessible alternative to microloans.

As mentioned in the official press release, credit cards have the potential to help curb demand for loans to bank customers, raise the efficacy of the loans, and allow the people from various social strata to access bank facilities.
