Charge Card Transactions

A charge card (sometimes referred to as a Travel and Entertainment card) shares the “pay later” component with credit cards. However, charge card balances normally have to be paid off monthly and do not attract interest charges. Charge cards typically possess high (or even no) pre-set spending limits and may carry a high annual fee.
