Credit card
A credit card is a method of making a payment for goods and services named after the small card given to users to access the payment facility.
Credit cards differ from debit cards because they do not remove funds from the user?s bank account to cover the value of the transaction.
Credit cards are so named because they are used to link the user with a credit facility offered by the credit card issuer. The issuer lends the cardholder money which can then be used to make payments to merchants.
