How a Credit Card Works
A credit card gives you access to a flexible line of credit that you can use for all your purchases. You can spend freely up to a total amount corresponding to the card's credit limit, and then choose how you want to repay the credit you have used.
To avoid fees, the full balance should be repaid within the interest-free period, which is usually between 30 and 60 days. If you repay the full amount on time, you avoid interest and pay nothing extra. You can also choose to repay only part of the credit you have used. If you choose to pay in installments, interest will be charged on the remaining balance.
With a credit card, you decide how you want to manage your credit, depending on what best suits your financial situation.
In addition to the option of paying in installments, a credit card can offer many benefits that are useful both in everyday life and when traveling. For example, you can get discounts and bonuses through loyalty programs, earn cashback on your purchases, and enjoy extra protection through various insurance benefits, and much more.
It is important to keep in mind that credit cards aren’t suitable for everyone. A credit card is only beneficial if you manage your finances well and make payments on time. If you struggle with sticking to a budget or risk overspending, a credit card can become a financial burden rather than a benefit.
