Why should credit cards be used in the first place?

Here are some advantages of credit cards which show why you should use a credit card in the first place:

  1. You do not have to count your cash before paying bills of any kind or check if you have enough of it or not.
  2. It is also a safer way of carrying money; cash always attracts thieves and robbers especially in a high crime rate country like Pakistan.
  3. For some, carrying cash itself seems a burden. Going to an ATM every now and then and filling wallets up with paper money can be very irritating.
  4. Besides these obvious advantages of using credit cards, one also gets the favours that the credit card packages offer to the clients.

Credit cards and their utilization in Pakistan:

People have only recently started using credit cards in Pakistan and mainly for shopping. People create multiple accounts and various credit cards that offer various services and use them according to their needs. If extra money from the bank is used up, the bank charges a certain amount of interest that one can pay later. This service was mainly devised for salaried people who have limited amount of money available. Credit cards offer emergency loan from the bank and people can return it as soon as they get their salary. This is the general trend of credit card usage in Pakistan.
