Payments

The main function of credit cards is to make payments online and in physical establishments. We can make any purchase around the world thanks to credit cards. Just 40 years ago this was unthinkable.

Credit

Credit cards allow you to finance purchases in the same way as personal loans. You can make purchases and pay at the end of the month without interest and you can also finance purchases for up to 2 years by paying interest or fees. If we finance purchases we must be careful because interest is 30% APR.

Cashback

One of the coolest things about credit cards is the cashback service. For each purchase you make, you earn a percentage that can go up to 5%. Imagine saving money on each purchase made just by paying with the card. You have to review all cards that offer cashback.

Credit score

As you already know, the credit score is very important in the United States because it will allow you to finance yourself with low interest. Credit cards improve your credit score as long as you are a good payer.
