How To Pay ABSA Credit Card Via Mpesa [2021]
A credit card is a payment card that provides access to extra cash in the form of credit that is to be repaid with interest within a defined duration.
These cards are usually beneficial during emergencies as well as provide a sense of financial freedom through benefits and other rewards.
Despite the benefits above, before applying for a credit card, it is usually important to settle for a card that suits one’s lifestyle by taking into consideration the fees associated with the card.
For example, credit cards with zero annual fees are great for emergencies and online purchases while those with charges offer additional benefits that the former do not.
Other crucial areas to look out for are the interest rates connected to a particular card whereby it is advisable to make repayments before each due date so as to maintain an interest-free credit.
With the above in mind, making the right decision on a particular credit card should be a breeze.
