A credit card is a form of borrowing that often involves charges. Credit terms and conditions affect your overall cost. So it's wise to compare terms and fees before you agree to open a credit or charge card account.

Your credit history is essentially your financial "reputation". Lenders use information on how you have handled your financial obligations in the past when determining whether to approve or deny a credit application.

In addition to helping lenders determine if you are "creditworthy", your credit report can be reviewed by any company or individual with a "legitimate business need". For example, your credit report can be used to determine your eligibility for an apartment rental, employment, and insurance.

You should seize the opportunity to control your future by understanding responsible money management and learning tips to build and maintain a good credit history.
