Credit Cards:
A
credit card is a system of payment named after the small plastic
card issued to users of the system. A credit card is different
from a debit card in that it does not remove money from the
user's account after every transaction. In the case of credit
cards, the issuer lends money to the consumer (or the user).
It is also different from a charge card (though this name
is sometimes used by the public to describe credit cards),
which requires the balance to be paid in full each month.
In contrast, a credit card allows the consumer to 'revolve'
their balance, at the cost of having interest charged. Most
credit cards are the same shape and size.
Credit
card allows consumers to purchase products or services without
cash and to pay for them at a later date. To qualify for this
type of credit, the consumer must open an account with a bank
or company, which sponsors a card.
