Whenever he started his career with a
job in a good company. In most cases, they get a debit and credit card along
with opening an account with a private bank. That youth becomes happy with his
financial freedom. But at the same time, when using credit and debit cards in
front of him, the question arises as to which of these cards is better.
Just as it is difficult to tell who
is better in day and night, it is difficult to compare credit and debit cards.
As both have advantages, there are some limitations as well. In the future, the
consumer comes to know about this as soon as he uses a better option in his
financial transactions. The credit and debit cards are actually cash options
and very powerful financial resources. The basic difference between credit and
debit cards is the withdrawal of money from both cards.
The debit card is issued by the bank
and is linked to the consumer's account. Here, a bank account can be current or
savings. A debit card is like plastic bank balance or plastic money, which
allows the consumer to spend as much amount as the consumer has in the account.
So when consumers swipe or insert it,
or use it based on the number put on it or withdraw money from the ATM, the
money is immediately withdrawn from the consumer's bank account. In contrast,
the credit card gives a credit limit to the consumer, from where the consumer
can borrow money to pay at the time of need.
The thing to remember is that it is
an interim loan, in which the pre-fixed free credit period lasts from 42 to 45
days according to the different credit cards. You can borrow the same amount as
the credit limit of the consumer's credit card is available.
The credit limit depends on the
credit score, income and other things of the consumer. If the loan taken is
repaid late, interest is charged on the outstanding balance. There is a lot of
interest on credit cards. It is wise to pay the credit card on time. On a
credit card, the consumer can get reward points, cashback, discount on movie
tickets, online purchase, travel booking etc.
Use of both types of cards has its
own advantages, but it also depends entirely on the discipline of the consumer.
For example, the credit card free credit period, especially the beginning of
the credit cycle can be taken advantage of when making large purchases or bill
payments, so that a 42-45 day free credit period can be used.
Its advantage is that during this
time the consumer gets some interest on the consumer's own rupee deposited in
the bank. Other benefits of credit cards are free insurance provide by the card
company, discounts to cardholders and special services. There are some fees and
fees for using a credit card.
However, there are some risks on the
use of credit cards to withdraw money, as it has to be paid more than the
amount withdrawn. The credit cards also have advantages such as loyalty or
reward points. If consumers repay the loan on time without paying the late
payment charge, then they can get more economic benefit than paying the fee
annually.
The consumer has to remember to use
both the cards as per his convenience, which the credit card limit does not
mean that he has so much money, but it is a loan, which he has to repay on
time.
