If you’ve been watching the news this week, you’ve likely heard the updates coming out of the World Economic Forum in Davos. There is a massive push for a 10% interest rate cap on credit cards starting this year.

At Stakkz, we aren't just watching these changes—we are building the strategies you need to survive them. While a lower rate sounds great for your wallet, it’s creating a "High-Risk" environment for lenders. If you are an entrepreneur looking to fund an LLC, the rules of the game just changed.

The "Tightening" Effect: What Happens When Rates Drop

When banks are forced to cap their interest at 10%, they don't just say "okay" and keep lending as usual. Instead, they become incredibly picky. To protect their profits, they are expected to:

Raise the Bar: "Average" credit scores that were "good enough" last year may now face instant denials.
Slash Limits: Banks are already looking for reasons to lower existing credit limits to reduce their exposure.
Kill Rewards: The cash-back and travel perks you rely on to run your business could be the first thing to go.

Why "Now" is the Best Time to Improve Your Score

A higher credit score is your only insurance policy in a tightening market. It gives you the flexibility to move between lenders when the big banks start saying "no."

In this 2026 lending climate, a strong score is the only way to ensure you stay on the "Approved" side of the line. You can no longer afford to guess what is on your report. Lenders are already using advanced AI to scan for small "red flags." If you have high debt levels or a tiny error on your file, you’ll be the first one cut when banks tighten their belts.
