How does a credit card work
You want to purchase something in the market but you got short of money. Now there will be two options, first one is that you can go back to your home without purchasing anything.
Else if you know any shopkeeper you can take a credit from a shopkeeper with some interest. This is how a credit card works. With the help of a credit card, you borrow money from the credit card providers (Financial institution).
Credit card providers check your eligibility. Like your credit score or financial eligibility. If you are eligible, then they set a credit card limit of purchasing or using credit. They send you a short of card which is formally called credit card.
When you purchase anything from the credit card you can use only your full credit limit. If you cross the credit limit then you have to pay penalty to the credit card issuer.
On the billing cycle, credit borrowers have to pay the amount with fixed interest to the credit card provider (Financial institution). If the borrower had paid the full amount within the due then they will not have to pay any interest. If they exceed the due period then they have to pay interest.
