Credit card is a plastic card just like a debit card. While in case of a debit card, the amount paid is debited from your bank account, in case of a credit card, it comes with a pre-defined limit. The credit card company fixes the credit limit. Banks set the credit limit after considering your annual income, credit score, and other factors. If you use your credit card wisely, banks may increase your credit limit within a few months.

Things to keep in mind before applying for a credit card

Applying for a credit card is now instant and easy. Many banks offer their savings account customers with pre-approved credit cards. Customers with a fixed deposit can also apply for a secured credit card online. However, you need to keep in mind a few things before you apply for a credit card.

Credit score

Credit score shows the creditworthiness, which is the ability to pay back the debt. A good credit score is essential to apply for credit cards. Also, you can build your credit score by using credit cards wisely by paying your dues on time.

Credit Limit

Every credit card has a credit limit. The maximum credit limit of a credit card against Fixed Deposit depends on the fixed deposit created. On the other hand, the credit limit of a regular credit card will depend on the applicant’s eligibility.

Fees

Credit cards have different fees. Joining fees, annual fees, late payment charges, cash withdrawal processing fee, over charge fees are some fees applicable to most credit cards.

So, it is important to pay your dues on time and keep a note of the fees before applying for a credit card. Few Credit Cards against FD like Kotak 811 #DreamDifferent Credit Card is a lifetime free credit card that does not have any joining or annual fees.

Interest Rate

Credit Card companies offer interest-free period to their customers. During this period, you can make payment using your card without paying any interest. However, if you don’t pay your dues on time, card providers will levy interest on the balance amount.

Credit utilisation ratio

Credit utilisation ratio is the credit that you utilise out of your total available credit. It is best to keep a low credit utilisation ratio of 30% to 40%. A higher credit utilisation ratio may have a negative impact on your credit score.

Offers and benefits

Credit cards come with different offers and benefits. Also, few credit cards are designed for specific uses. Check the offers and benefits on different credit cards to select the best one for you.

How to build credit history or improve credit score through credit card?

If you use your credit card wisely, you can build your credit history or improve your credit score.

Here’s how credit cards can improve your credit score:

Get a credit card against FD

Typically, banks offer credit cards to customers with high credit score. If you have recently started working or don’t have any income proof, you can apply for a secured credit card. You can apply for credit card against FD online without any income proof or credit score.

Paying your dues on time

Banks submit your credit repayment report to credit bureaus such as CIBIL. So, when you pay your credit card dues in full every month, it signals that you can use credit responsibility. Credit repayment history plays a major role in improving your credit score.

Additionally, it can also help you build credit history. If you don’t have a credit history, paying your credit card bills on time for over 12 months can lead to a decent credit score.

Keeping a low credit utilisation ratio

As mentioned earlier, utilising low credit out of your available balance or keeping a low credit utilisation ratio will help you improve your credit score. Keeping a credit utilisation ratio between 30-40% shows responsible use of the credit card.

If you are using your credit card wisely, your provider will be happy to increase your credit limit. A higher credit limit will help you keep your credit utilisation ratio low.

If you have over one credit card, you can spread your purchases and payments across the different credit cards to keep a low credit utilisation ratio.

Avoid applying for multiple credit cards

While using multiple cards can keep your utilisation ratio low and increase your credit score, applying for multiple credit cards may have a negative impact on your score.

It is because whenever you apply for a credit product, banks fetch your credit report from credit bureaus. This is called credit enquiry. And your credit score is reduced by few points whenever an institution carries out credit enquiry.

Applying multiple credit cards signal credit bureaus that you are credit hungry.

Check before you close your credit card

The credit history also affects your credit score. So, when you close your credit card, you also close your oldest credit line. Hence, it is important to be cautious before you close your oldest credit card.

Why you should use your credit card to make payment?

Cash Back

We all love getting something extra. Credit card companies offer a certain percentage of the purchases made through the credit card as cashback. Depending on the issuer, the cashback can range from 1% to 10%. So, if you are going to make high value transactions, making the payment through credit card can help you save more money.

Reward Points

Credit card users also get reward points when they use their credit card to make purchases. Depending on the credit card, people can earn reward points when dining out, buying groceries, etc.

After reaching a certain minimum reward point, you can redeem the rewards points while making any purchase. Co-branded credit cards, i.e. credit card with tie-ups with certain brands, offer higher reward points.

Higher safety

Paying through credit cards is a safer than a debit card. If your debit card is stolen or falls on the hands of the miscreants, your money lying in your bank account may be at risk. In case of any such fraudulent transactions, it may be impossible to get money credited to your account.

However, in case of fraudulent use of your credit, after notifying the credit card company, the company will take care to resolve the matter.

Interest-free Period

When you pay for a purchase through a credit card, your money remains in your savings account till you clear the credit card dues. Credit card users get an interest-free period of up to 50 days.

Convert big purchases into EMI

Credit cards make it affordable to make big ticket purchases putting no strain on your monthly budget. You can convert the big purchase into EMIs.

How to use your credit card?

Judicious use of your credit card

Credit utilisation is the credit card balance compared to the credit limit. Using a higher credit card balance may make it harder to pay the credit card dues on time. This can lead to delay in the bill payments which may affect your credit scores.

Pay bills on time

Paying your credit card bills on time will be helpful in reaping the maximum benefits of your credit card. Paying your dues on time will also help improve credit score.

Use your credit card regularly

You can receive many offers and benefits on credit card use. If you don’t have credit history, regular use of a credit card can help to build credit history.

Conclusion

Credit Card is a great tool to increase your purchasing power and improve your credit score. Paying your credit card dues on time, keeping a low credit utilisation ratio are great ways to build credit history and score.
