      Shopping with a credit card is a snap, but shopping for the card that’s right for you is another matter.

      Interest

      Simply put, interest is the money earned or paid when someone makes or receives a loan. You can be paid interest for keeping money in a bank account, purchasing a bond, or making other investments. You can also pay interest when you borrow money through a loan, credit card, or other line of credit. Interest is calculated as a percentage of the loan.
