Unlike a debit card, most credit card types are not linked to your current account. While a debit card usually takes funds from your account straight away, a credit card allows you to purchase things today and pay for them later. Every month you’ll receive a statement showing your outstanding balance. You can either pay the bill in full by a set date and incur no interest, or you may be able to make a minimum payment and spread the rest of the repayments out over time. It's important to remember that if you don't pay off the balance in full every month, you will be charged interest on the outstanding amount, and it will take you longer to repay the amount due.
