Why Apply for a Credit Card?

When you open a credit card account, you start to create a credit history that can help you build your credit rating and eventually may help qualify you for loans and other financial opportunities. By paying on your credit card on time each month, you show trustworthiness to potential lenders. Even if you already have a credit history, getting and paying on a new credit card could improve your credit.

Other reasons to consider a credit card include:

  • Perks that come with the card, such as buyer protection.
  • Reward programs in return for using the card.
  • A source of emergency funding to fall back on should you need money quickly.
  • Ease of online shopping.

How to Find the Right Credit Card

The right credit card will vary from person to person based on your financial situation and priorities for the short and long term. Whenever you consider a new card, you should look at the annual percentage rate (APR) which measures how much interest you pay on your purchases each month. The lower the APR, the better. Be sure to review disclosures and understand that an APR can adjust to a higher amount. You should also consider annual fees and minimum repayment rates.
