Cash Rebates Credit Cards
A credit
card system is a type of retail transaction
settlement and credit system, named after the small
plastic card issued to users of the system. A credit
card is different from a debit card in that it does
not remove money from the user's account after every
transaction. In the case of credit cards, the issuer
lends money to the consumer (or the user). It is
also different from a charge card (though this name
is sometimes used by the public to describe credit
cards), which requires the balance to be paid in
full each month. In contrast, a credit card allows
the consumer to 'revolve' their balance, at the cost
of having interest charged. Most credit cards are
the same shape and size, as specified by the ISO
7810 standard.
