What is a Credit Card? Why is a Credit Card important?

A Credit Card is a plastic, metallic or virtual payment tool issued by a financial institution that allows you to borrow funds up to a pre-approved limit. Cardholders can use credit cards for making purchases, paying bills, or withdrawing cash. It lets you make cashless transactions, offering a short-term credit facility. A credit card usually offers an interest-free period of up to 45 days (can vary depending on the bank), where you can repay the borrowed amount in full without any interest. You can also opt for EMI payments for a large purchase to divide your payment into monthly instalments.

Having a Credit Card is important because it provides you with financial flexibility, helps you manage unexpected expenses, builds your credit history, and gives you access to a host of rewards, cashback, and travel benefits. When you opt for an IDFC FIRST Bank Credit Card, you unlock the potential to enjoy numerous lifestyle advantages, attractive reward programmes, and superior customer service.
