Credit Cards | Policybulls
A credit card is a financial tool that allows you to borrow money up to a pre-approved limit for purchases, which you can repay later. It also offers rewards, cashback, and other benefits.
When you use a credit card for payments, your bank/lender covers the expense, and you must repay it within the billing cycle (usually 30-50 days). If not paid in full, interest is charged on the remaining balance.
