Card issuers are institutions with high credit, strong repayment ability, credit or certain social status. The starting point of gold card authorization limit is higher, and the additional service items and scope are wider, so the requirements for related service fees and deposits are higher.
Liquidation method
According to different payment methods, credit cards can be divided into credit cards and quasi-credit cards.
(1) credit card. That is, when the issuing bank provides bank credit, it overdraws first, and then repays or pays in installments. Most of these cards are used for international circulation. In other words, the way to allow cardholders to pay off their credit card accounts is "consume first, then deposit". Most of these cards are used for international circulation.
(2) quasi-credit card. It refers to a credit card in which the cardholder must first deposit a certain amount of reserve funds according to the requirements of the issuing bank. When the balance of the reserve account is insufficient to pay, it can be overdrawn within the credit limit stipulated by the issuing bank, but interest will be charged from the date of overdraft, and interest-free period will not be enjoyed (reserve is not required for quasi-credit card).
