Answers to common questions
Bula! I can help with the Debit Limit Increase Request. Pick a common question, or browse by topic.
Is there anything else I can help with?
Have these to hand so you can finish the four steps in one go:
User Guide · 1.1 What You Will Need
- Your Tax Identification Number (TIN).
- A valid email address and contact phone number.
- Details of the bank that holds your card account.
- The purpose of the increase and the new limit you are requesting.
- Supporting documents relevant to your selected purpose.
Files can be PDF, JPG, PNG, DOC or DOCX, up to 10 MB each.
It depends on the purpose you choose in Step 2. Step 3 then lists exactly what is required for that purpose and counts your uploads, for example “0 of 3 required documents uploaded”.
Typical documents requested for a Business Expenses purpose include:
User Guide · Step 3 of 4 – Supporting Documents
- TIN Letter OR FRCS/FNPF Joint Card.
- Tax Clearance Certificate, where applicable.
- Invoice or other documentary evidence supporting the request.
TIN stands for Tax Identification Number. It is issued by the Fiji Revenue and Customs Service (FRCS) and appears on your TIN Letter and your FRCS/FNPF Joint Card.
A TIN is required to apply, and you will need it again, together with your reference number, to check your status. If you don't have one, please register with FRCS before starting your application.
It is recommended that you have all your details and documents ready before you begin, as the guided steps must be completed in sequence to reach Review & Submit.
