The following categories and subcategories are included:

Credit Card Transactions

  • Commercial Credit Card Transactions
    • Average Personal Credit Card Balance
    • Average Personal Credit Card Limit
    • Personal Credit Card Utilisation

Credit Card Transactions

Credit cards allow for purchases against a preapproved line of credit. The account holder has the choice of whether to pay off the entire balance each month or opt for monthly instalments with the balance serving as revolving credit. If the cardholder decides to revolve a balance, the consumer pays interest. Credit cards can include affinity cards, reward cards and types of co-branded cards. Co-branded retailer cards—issued by retailers acting as financial institutions and without usage restrictions—are included in this category. Cards issued by a retailer with usage limited to a specific store within a predefined retail group fall under the store cards definition. Debit cards with an overdraft function are not counted as cards with a credit function.
