Definition of Line Of Credit



Line of credit is the maximum amount a facilitated borrower can borrow from an institution. The line of credit arrangement is normally seen between banks and clients who need credit needs other than their available balance. A credit card facility is a line of credit facility that allows the client to spend in excess of its balance up to an amount permitted by the bank.

 


The line of credit facility is called the open line of credit if the credit facility is useable again provided that the previous payments are made. Assume a bank’s customer can borrow $2500 every month from a bank provided the payment is settled within 10 days of the next month.
