Benefits of Credit Cards

What are Credit Cards?

A Credit Card is a rectangular, small plastic card that allows you to buy goods or any other services without offering any cash upfront. It is similar to taking a loan from a lender. Credit Card interest rates vary for every user. Whenever you apply for a Credit Card, the Bank decides how much credit limit should be allotted to you. The amount you spend in a particular month gets reflected in your Credit Card statement, which you receive the next month on a specific date. The Credit Card bill is mailed to you every month by the issuer.
