The Countless Alternatives To Credit Cards
Thanks to the constant stream of credit card offers you receive
in the mail or through television few people understand that
there are viable alternatives. Below are five of those
alternatives.
1. Debit Cards Debit cards have been used in many European
countries for a number of years, but are relatively new
elsewhere. In a nutshell, they are just like credit cards and
are accepted in most places where credit cards are accepted. The
biggest difference is that they take money directly from your
bank account rather than you getting a bill at the end of the
month. However, you should be aware that you aren't as
well-protected from fraud with a debit card as you would be with
a credit card. Another way to describe a debit card would be to
call it an electronic check.
2. Pre-Paid Credit Cards These cards work just like credit
cards, except that you're not allowed to carry a negative
balance. You deposit money into your card account before you can
spend it which means that you 'top-up' the card... like you do
with pre-paid cell phones. This is great way to control your
spending or you could give one to a child to control their
spending. They are also safer than debit cards, if stolen
because the their could only spend whatever money was on it.
3. Bank Overdrafts Bank overdrafts used in conjunction with a
credit card, can be a far better way of borrowing money than
using a credit card. Your overdraft limit is set by your bank
according to
how much you deposit into your account each month.
You don't need to pay it off until you want to.
It gives you the ability to have your account go into the red or
negative numbers. Many banks charge relatively high interest
rates for overdrafts, but rarely as high as a credit card
companies and the better customer you're considered the better
rates you'll receive from your bank.
4. Traditional Loans When you plan on purchasing a single big
item at a fixed price - like a car or for home improvements it's
worth budgeting it all out and going to a bank or other type of
lender. They'll be able to lend you the money at a much better
rate than a credit card would simply because they know why
you're taking the loan and can set regular monthly payments for
you to repay it.
5. Credit Unions Credit unions are like banks, only more local.
They are co-operative, owned by their members and run by the
community and are a great place to borrow money. The reason is
because there are laws that limit how much interest credit
unions can charge and they don't need to make a profit for
owners or shareholders because they don't have any. It's a solid
alternative and well worth looking into if there's one in your
area.
