Credit Card
A credit card offers just that -credit, the right to borrow funds from a lending institution. When you make a purchase or withdraw cash (usually called a cash advance), funds are drawn from your "line of credit." You pay back the amount you borrowed or "charged" each month, or carry over to the next month (revolve) a certain amount that was borrowed and you are assessed an interest charge.
You are then responsible to pay the interest charge as well. Credit cards carry a brand logo (e.g., Visa, MasterCard, American Express, etc.) and are accepted by participating merchants. When you use your credit card, the transaction requires a signature.

By contrast, ATM cards let you withdraw money from your account when you make a purchase. Secured credit cards are essentially a combination of the two. They look like a credit card, but you must first deposit money with the card company. The amount of money you deposit becomes your credit limit.
