What exactly is a finance charge, and under what circumstances will I need to pay one?

Submitted by on December 16, 2009 – 11:19 pmNo Replies


A web user asks, Pretty much exactly what the main question says. I have no idea what a “finance charge” is. For instance, would I be charged a finance charge if I charged a purchase, and then paid the balance immediately?

Any additional information that could be given would be great, as I’m considering getting my first credit card, and want to know everything I can so that I don’t get myself into trouble.

Can you help them out? Post your advice!
