How Credit Cards Work
First, the why: Credit cards are financial tools that let you borrow money at monthly intervals and pay back at least the minimum the next month or “billing cycle.” That’s what’s known as revolving credit. If you don’t pay off what you borrow each month, the unpaid amount carries over to the next month with interest. Over time, the interest can be costly if you continue to pay only the minimum. That’s why it’s important to manage your credit.
Now, the how: Apply for a student credit card, which comes with an affordable variable interest rate and limits that help control your spending.
How to get started: Review our rates and requirements and contact us with questions or to meet with a lending specialist.
