A credit card system is a type of retail transaction settlement and credit system, named after the small plastic card issued to users of the system. A credit card is different from a debit card in that it does not remove money from the users' account after every transaction. In the case of credit cards, the issuer lends money to the consumer (or the user). It is also different from a charge card (though this name is sometimes used by the public to describe credit cards), which requires the balance to be paid in full each month. In contrast, a credit card allows the consumer to 'revolve' their balance, at the cost of having interest charged. (see Credit Card Glossary for help with terms)

Q: What information will I need to provide for a credit card application?

A: You will need some basic information such as your driver's license number, social security number, date of birth and address. Additional information may be required by some credit card companies in order to verify certain aspects of your credit application.

Q: How long does it take to get a credit card application decision?

Q: Can I apply for more than one credit card?

A: Yes, you can apply for more than one credit card. Many people have multiple credit cards. Only card issuers can decide whether they want to approve your application for a card or not. However, if you have more credit cards, at some point issuers may decide that your total available credit is already high relative to your income, and may decide not to issue you more credit cards.

Q: Is it necessary to have a checking account required if I want to apply for a credit card?
