what are credit cards, debit cards, charge cards, prepaid cards? - correct answer - credit card: an
unsecured line of credit, based on good faith and credit history, this is a risk for a bank

- debit card: a secured line of credit, the bank is taking no risk in issuing one of these

- charge card: issued by a retailer allowing you to charge purchases made only with their store, store
credit usually carries high rates or interest as high as 20 to 30% on unpaid balances

- prepaid card: offered by banks and non- banks, not linked to one's bank account, entails high fees and
interest



what is the credit card act and most important point? - correct answer 1) No increase interest rates for
12 months unless an intro rate expires

,2) After one year of the intro rate expires the card holder must be notified 45 days in advance of any rate
change

3) If you are more than 60 days late the issuer may charge you the interest default rate, which is typically
28-35%. However, if you make your payments on time for six consecutive months, the original rate must
be restored. Some banks may refund part of the default rate for each month you pay on time as an
incentive to get the account "cleaned up"

4) For an account in good standing, interest rate increases can only be applied to new charges

5) Promotional rate periods must be for a minimum of six months

6) Overdraft fees may not be charged unless the cardholder agrees to allow them. When you "accept"
most modern day contracts you are probably agreeing to overdraft fees. Otherwise the issuer would
reject the charge.

Key point: all these things they have put into effect are for consumers and not busines
