A credit card is a machine-readable plastic payment card that may be used to purchase goods or services on credit.
Credit cards account for an ever-increasing percentage of financial transactions.
In contrast to charge cards, the balances for which must be paid off on a monthly basis, credit cards allow the clients a continuing balance of debt. It also differs from a debit card, which enables a client to access his or her bank account at financial institutions and make payments, but not to do so on a credit basis. All these plastic cards have the same shape and size as defined by an ISO standard.
Kreditní karta je strojově čitelná platební karta z plastu, která může být použita k nákupu zboží nebo služeb na úvěr.
Kreditní karty mají stále větší procentní podíl na finančních transakcích.
Na rozdíl od charge karty, u které musí být čerpané prostředky spláceny měsíčně, kreditní karty umožnují klientům pokračování dluhu. Kreditní karta je odlišná také od debetní karty, která umožňuje klientovi přístup k vlastnímu bankovnímu účtu u finančních institucí a placení, ale neumožňuje platit na úvěr. Všechny tyto plastové karty mají stejný tvar a velikost definovanou standardem ISO.<
