Frequently asked questions
What are the differences between credit cards and debit cards?
Credit cards:
- The credit provider allows you to borrow money from them up to the credit limit
- Can be used to earn rewards such as frequent flyer points, cash back, and insurances on your purchases
- There’s usually an interest free period from 44 days to 55 days, where no interest is charged if you pay back the full balance owing before the end of the interest free period
- Interest will be charged on the amount owing after the interest free period if you don’t pay back the full balance
- Offers extra fraud protection and protection against unauthorised purchases
Debit cards:

Do credit cards impact your credit score?
Paying off your full credit card balance each month on time may positively affects your credit score, but not paying back the full balance owing on time may negatively impact your credit score. That’s why it’s important to keep on top of your payments and try to pay off the balance in full and on time each month.
Do you need to pay interest on your credit card?
With every credit card, there’s usually an interest free period of up to 44 days or 55 days, whereby if you pay back the full balance owing on your statement before the interest free period, then no interest is charged.
However, if you don’t pay back the full balance owing before the interest free period, then interest will be charged on the balance owing on your statement. That’s why it’s important to keep on top of your credit card statements and try to pay back the full balance owing each month before the end of the interest free period.
Do credit cards impact your borrowing capacity when you're looking to get a mortgage?
Having a credit card may impact your borrowing capacity, because the banks usually look at the full credit limit that you have on your credit card as a debt, even if you pay back the full balance owing each month on time.
