Credit and Credit Cards Costs and Benefits of Having a Credit Card ©2012, TESCCC

Credit Cards A card issued by a financial institution giving the holder an option to borrow funds Credit cards charge interest and are primarily used for short-term financing. ©2012, TESCCC

Credit Cards  Interest usually begins one month after a purchase is made, and the amount you may borrow is predetermined.  Your credit limit and your interest rate will be determined by your credit rating. ©2012, TESCCC

Benefits of a Credit Card 1. Ease of making purchases - Makes it easier to buy items, especially if you do not want to carry a lot of cash. Some businesses require a credit card, such as hotels and car rentals. ©2012, TESCCC

Benefits of Credit Cards 2. Your purchase may be protected if it is lost, broken, or stolen. It may make it easier for you to return the item. ©2012, TESCCC

Benefits of Credit Cards 3. Building your credit history - Having a credit card and using it wisely (making payments on time and in full each month) will help you build a good credit history. ©2012, TESCCC

Benefits of Credit Cards 4. Emergencies - Credit cards can also be useful in times of emergency. Sometimes emergencies (such as your car breaking down or a flood or fire) may lead to a large purchase (like the need for a rental car or a motel room for several nights). ©2012, TESCCC

Benefits of Credit Cards 5. Safety - You can make purchases without carrying around a lot of cash. Helps prevent you being robbed and losing all your money. ©2012, TESCCC

Benefits of Credit Cards 6. Extra benefits - some credit cards offer additional incentives, such as discounts from particular stores or companies; bonuses, such as free airline miles or travel discounts; and special insurances (like travel or life insurance). ©2012, TESCCC

Risks of Credit Cards 1. Overspending - Credit cards encourage people to spend money they do not have. Many people will not pay off the balance each month and continue to charge, blowing their budget. ©2012, TESCCC

Risks of Credit Cards 2. Interest - If you do not pay off your credit card each month, you will be charged interest. The interest rate is usually very high on credit cards, higher than you earn on money saved. ©2012, TESCCC

Risks of Credit Cards 3. Debt - When people do not pay off credit cards each month, allow the balance to increase with interest, and continue to charge new purchases, they go into debt. ©2012, TESCCC

Risks of Credit Cards 4. Credit card fraud - Credit cards can be stolen or lost. People may also steal the information off your credit card and make fraudulent purchases. You must protect your credit information. ©2012, TESCCC

Risks of Credit Cards 5. Impulse buying - People will not wait until they have the cash or for the item to go on sale. ©2012, TESCCC

Risks of Credit Cards 6. Sacrifice - You may have to sacrifice things you need now because you must pay off credit cards for things you have already purchased. You may have to give up some long-time goals or give up saving. ©2012, TESCCC

The 5 C’s of Credit Creditors look for 5 C’s before granting credit to an individual or business. 1. Character - Integrity 2. Capacity - Ability to repay the loan; job history 3. Collateral - Some loans require property to secure a loan. 4. Capital - Net worth 5. Conditions - The purpose for the loan; local economic conditions ©2012, TESCCC

What Impacts Your Credit Rating 1. Past credit history 2. Amount you owe 3. Length of having an established credit history 4. Amount of new credit 5. Number of credit cards you have ©2012, TESCCC

Credit Trouble Warning Signs  Charging to limit and applying for many new cards  Using credit cards and cash advances to pay for essentials like groceries.  Use one credit card to make payment for another credit card. ©2012, TESCCC

Credit Trouble Warning Signs  Borrowing from family members to pay bills  You are afraid to get the mail and open your credit card statements.  No savings or frequently dipping into savings to pay on your accounts ©2012, TESCCC
