What’s best for me?
| Works Best For | Source of Funds | Available Balance | INterest Charge | Credit Report | |
| Debit Card | Someone who wants to use a card to make purchases from their companion Checking account | Funds for Debit Card purchases come from your companion Checking account. | The available balance on your Debit Card is equal to the available balance in your companion Checking account. | Since funds for Debit Card purchases come from your companion Checking account, there are no interest charges. | Using a Debit Card does not impact your Credit Report |
| Credit Card | Someone who wants flexibility to fund purchases with revolving credit or is interested in earning rewards on purchases. | Funds for purchases are provided by the Credit Card issuer and subject to predetermined limits set by the issuer. | The available balance on your Credit Card is the remaining unused portion of the credit line set by the Credit Card issuer. | Pay off your Credit Card in full and on time each month to avoid interest charges that will otherwise accrue on unpaid revolving balances. | Using a Credit Card does affect your Credit Report, and can be a great way to build a solid credit history as long as payments are made on time |
