A credit card is a credit card in which the issuing bank grants the cardholder a certain credit limit, and the cardholder can make purchases within the credit limit and make repayments later. A quasi-credit card is a credit card in which the cardholder first deposits a certain amount of reserve as required by the bank, and when the reserve is insufficient to cover the payment, the cardholder can overdraw within the credit limit stipulated by the card-issuing bank.
