How Do Credit Cards Work?

A credit card is the rectangle piece of plastic we carry in our wallets that allows us to buy all the stuff we need and want. It allows us to buy goods and services based on the promise we will pay for the goods. Credit cards are issued by financial institutions such as banks and they work a bit like a bank account where we are given credit so we can borrow money to pay merchants or take cash from an ATM machine.
