Credit Cards
A credit card can be used by the cardholder to pay for something or to withdraw cash using a line of credit that has been made available by the credit card issuer.
Debit Cards Initially developed as a convenient and cost-effective alternative to point-of-sale cheques, debit cards are increasingly being used as a cash substitute.
Charge Cards
These cards are similar to credit cards. They allow you to pay for goods and services on interest-free credit, but require you to pay in full each month.
Prepaid cards
Prepaid cards are a small but growing segment of the card market, which have largely replaced paper gift vouchers.
