1. Credit card, also known as debit card, is a credit certificate issued by a commercial bank or credit card company to eligible consumers. It is a card with name, expiration date, number and cardholder's name printed on the front, and a magnetic stripe and signature strip on the back. Consumers with credit cards can go to specialized commercial service departments for shopping or spending, and then the bank will settle accounts with merchants and cardholders, and cardholders can overdraw within the prescribed limits.
2. Credit card consumption is a non-cash transaction payment method. There is no need to pay cash when spending, and it will be repaid on the billing day. Credit cards are divided into credit cards and quasi-credit cards. Credit card refers to a credit card in which the cardholder has a certain credit limit and can spend first and then repay. Quasi-credit card refers to a quasi-credit card in which the cardholder deposits a certain amount of reserve fund according to the regulations, and when the balance of the reserve fund account is insufficient to pay, it can be overdrawn within the prescribed credit limit.
