Visa Credit Card FAQs
- What is a Credit Card?
A Credit Card is a card used to charge purchases from merchants without directly linking the purchase to your share or share draft account. People use credit cards for many reasons; primarily for security when purchasing from merchants online or for emergency purchases. Another reason credit cards are useful is they help build and maintain good credit standing if they are used responsibly and their balances are kept low. - How can I get a VISA Credit Card?
