About credit cards
Credit cards don't come in many different shapes or sizes - but they're certainly not a 'one size fits all' solution either. There are hundreds of different deals on the market to suit all needs.
You should never use a credit card to fund a lifestyle outside of your means. Nor should it be used as a long term solution for debt. But there's many ways that you can use a credit card safely and to great advantage.
As well as having a backup source of funds should you find yourself with an unexpected bill to pay, a credit cards offers you the freedom to borrow money a lot more flexibly than with a standard bank loan.
You can borrow anything up to your limit and pay it back in whatever timeframe you choose, although you will have to pay interest and you will have to pay a minimum payment back each month.
A well-managed credit card can be good for your credit rating too - it indicates that you are a safe borrower and are less likely to default. However, you have to be careful not to borrow more than you can foreseeably pay back.
Available through all of the high street banks and building societies, popular credit cards often come with introductory perks like interest free periods on purchases or transfers from another card. You should balance out these offers with the overall interest rate you have to pay when you are weighing up the options.
