Credit Cards
So you're looking for a credit card...
How do you know which one is right for you and your spending habits? Start by asking yourself some important questions like “how often do I use this?” or “do my finances allow it?”. Also, reading the terms carefully before applying can help make sure your new piece of plastic works well with your current needs and will be beneficial long-term as well.
Here are a few credit card basics to know:
- Credit cards are a form of credit. They allow you to borrow money up to a certain limit to purchase items or withdraw cash.
- Credit cards come with several consumer protections, including the ability to dispute charges and protection against loss or theft.
- Using credit cards responsibly can help you build good credit. This is important if you want to borrow money in the future, such as for a mortgage or car loan.
- You will need to repay the money you have borrowed plus interest and fees.
