definition of credit card

Postby James00 » Fri Jul 24, 2009 9:57 am

A credit card is part of a system of payments named after the small plastic card issued to users of the system. It is a card entitling its holder to buy goods and services based on the holder's promise to pay for these goods and services. The issuer of the card grants a line of credit to the consumer (or the user) from which the user can borrow money for payment to a merchant or as a cash advance to the user.

Credit card is really a very helpful financial tool and now being used commonly by the job holders. it is an instrument to make safe payment specially in case of online shopping. Credit card issuers allow the credit card holders to borrow money from his/her account up to a fixed limit. after enjoying shopping, credit card holder is bound to pay minimum pre-decided amount or the full amount borrowed. I really appreciate the features of credit card.

A Lot of people miscomprehended the usage of credit card thinking that it only augments their expenditure & nothing else, however they are not aware of the proper usage of the card. A Credit Card is plastic money which is used as a way of payment, facilitating you to purchase products/services on credit. It eases your life & your shopping experience is made simpler as you are not required to carry cash at all the places; just swipe your credit card & you are given a free credit period of 50-55 days by the bank. A lot of people think that the credit period starts from the date of purchase which is not correct; you should note that the credit period is calculated from the date of billing and not from the date of purchase.

Have a great day
Thanks for sharing and reading

Committing credit card fraud with a personal credit card usually involves charging items to the credit card and then later claiming that the charges were made by someone else (thus not requiring the owner to pay for the item as the card is reported stolen) or charging items to an expired or cancelled credit card. When items are charged to an expired or cancelled credit card, the credit card company is not required to pay the charge, and the consumer often can't be tracked down to pay for the item later.

Hi

credit card -- a plastic card that can be used by the cardholder to make purchases or obtain cash advances using a line of credit extended by the financial institution that issued the card. The card normally contains the cardholder's name and account number and may contain other information encoded on a magnetic strip. Some credit cards may be used in automatic teller machines.

Thanks
Have a nice time ahead.

A credit card, in the simplest terms, is the quickest fastest and most efficient (not cheapest though) way of getting a loan. The company who gives you the credit card effectively loans you money each and every time you use it. Thats the basic principle of a credit card, its a "credit line" that you can use at your own will and with incredible facility.

In short, a credit card allows you to spend money you dont have on the promise that you will pay it back at a later date.
