Frequently asked questions

How do credit cards work?

Credit cards give you access to a revolving line of credit. You can borrow money for purchases up to a set credit limit. Anything you spend is subtracted from your credit limit and added to the balance you owe. Each month, you'll receive a statement showing how much you owe in total, the required payment and the date it's due by. There's usually an interest-free period but if you don't clear the balance by that date, you'll then start to accrue interest.

What is APR on a credit card?

APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is the estimated total cost of borrowing money on a credit card over a year, including interest and other fees. You'll often see a representative APR advertised when comparing credit cards. The APR is a set of agreed rules that all credit card providers follow when calculating interest rates. You can use the APR to compare interest rates charged by different providers in a standardised way.

Can you withdraw cash from a credit card?

You can withdraw cash using a credit card at a cash machine, but it's best to only do this in an emergency situation as it can be more expensive than purchase costs. If you do withdraw money using your credit card, there may be a limit on how much you can take out. You could also be charged a transaction fee and be charged more interest. The rules vary across providers so check the details before making a withdrawal.
