What is a credit card?
The credit card is a cashless means of payment in card form. It can be used to pay for goods or services. You can also use the credit card for various financial transactions.
An important feature is that the cards are internationally recognized. Depending on the bank and credit card company, they are equipped with different functions. As a rule, the credit cards give you a kind of short-term, interest-free loan that is billed monthly. The money spent is then debited from the checking account. There are also alternative models, for example the prepaid credit card. You will find out more about this in the next few chapters.
