A credit card is a payment card issued to users (cardholders) as a method of payment to pay for goods and services. The issuer of the card (usually a bank) creates a revolving account and grants a line of credit to the cardholder, from which the cardholder can borrow money for payment to a merchant or as a cash advance. A creditcard is often used for online shopping.
