FAQ

head
How is a credit card different from a debit card?
A debit card immediately withdraws existing funds from your checking account, to which it is linked. You can only spend money you already have in the checking account.

With a credit card, you are borrowing money. When you apply, your financial institution weighs various factors to determine the limit, or maximum amount you can borrow.

You get a monthly statement reviewing all of your purchases, as well as how much you owe. Credit card payments typically have a minimum monthly payment you’re required to pay ontime. Late payments mean your financial institution will charge interest on top of what you already owe.

What are the benefits of joining a credit union?
There are lots of reasons to become a member. Benefits include:

  • Free financial education
  • Personalized attention and service

Because credit unions are member-owned non-profits, they can pass along savings to their members. They are governed by people who live and work alongside you, which means they see you as more than a customer.

Can I transfer other credit card balances to my GHS credit card?
