What is Credit Card

Credit Card is also known as plastic money. It is issued by a bank or a similar financial institution that gives authority to the borrower to borrow funds at the point of sale. Credit Cards are a convenient substitute for cash and primarily used for short-term financing. A Credit Card is issued based on eligibility factors that include monthly income, credit history, credit score, company category and other related factors. The lending financial institution draws a credit limit for each borrower based on his/ her credit profile. Usually, the borrower must pay back the credit within 45 days of the purchase. In case, the cardholder delays or fails to pay back the amount, the bank charges interest on the borrowed amount.
