    Credit Card

    1.1 Introduction 1.2Working 1.3 Research Methodology

    1.1 INTRODUCTION

    A credit cardis apayment card issued to users as a system ofpayment.It allows the

    cardholder to pay for goods and services based on the holder's promise to pay for them. The

    issuer of the card creates arevolving account and grants aline of credit to theconsumer (or

    the user) from which the user can borrow money for payment to a merchant or as acash

    advance to the user.

    A credit card is different from acharge card:a charge card requires the balance to be paid in

    full each month.In contrast, credit cards allow the consumers a continuing balance of debt,

    subject tointerestbeing charged. A credit card also differs from acash card,which can be

    used like currency by the owner of the card. A credit card differs from a charge card also in

    that a credit card typically involves a third-party entity that pays the seller and is reimbursed

    by the buyer, whereas a charge card simply defers payment by the buyer until a later date.

    1.2 How Do Credit Cards Works?

    When you apply for a credit card, the bank you apply to carefully screens your application.

    You cant blame them given that there is always a crook around the corner. A credit limit is

    worked out for you, based on your financial capability and other parameters like income

    levels, educational qualifications, age etc. The bank that issues you the card is called the

    'issuing bank'. The Business From the bank's point of view, credit cards are good business for

    two reasons. Banks make money through fees from merchant establishment. The higher than

    normal interest rate paid by cardholders for the balance in their card. So what are these

    merchant establishments? These form the heart of the business. Merchant establishments can

    be hotels, shops, travel agencies or any place where money transactions are made. The banks

    that enroll merchant establishments are called 'acquiring banks'. The relationship between the

    bank and the merchant establishments is run via international networks such as Visa andMaster card. Your credit card is valid in any merchant establishment that accepts your

    network (ie Master Card or Visa), irrespective of the issuing bank. Most Indian card issuing

    banks are part of either Master Card network or Visa network, or both. There are others credit

    card networks like American Express and Diners Club too. The merchant establishment finds

    the credit card a safer and efficient payment mode, and brings more business. The merchant

    establishment pays a fee to the bank that enrolled it for the service. The Transaction When

    you use a card at an establishment to purchase a product or service, your card is swiped on a

    swipe-machine. The swipe machine is connected to a central computer belonging to the

    network, which in turn is connected to all issuing banks. The system verifies with your

    issuing bank whether you have sufficient credit to cover the purchase in a few seconds, and

    approves or rejects the transaction. As soon as approval comes through, you are asked to sign

    the charge slip. The merchant then verifies your signature with the one at the back of the

    card. The charge slip is then forwarded to the acquiring bank, which in turn settles the

    transaction with the merchant. The issuing bank also proceeds to bill you for payment as per

    the cardholder agreement. The acquiring bank will settle the transaction with your issuing

    bank through the network. Sounds pretty straightforward? Then you're wondering why credit

    cards are such accursed instruments? That happens when you delay payments and get caught

    in an interest cycle. When you use a credit card you have the option to pay only a part of the

    total amount spent and carry forward the balance. But in such a case you will have to pay

    interest on all your purchases without any free credit period. You can save yourself only if

    you are prompt in paying the balance by the due date. Credit card users get a free period of

    credit before they reimburse the credit card issuing bank. This may vary from 15 days to 40

    days depending on the issuing banks. So that concludes our session on How Credit Cards

    Work. If you're now looking for information on How Snow Leopards Mate then you're on the

    2.2 TYPES OF CREDIT CARDS

    i)Premium Cards:As the name suggest these cards offer better service to the card holder

    and also a higher limit. There are also many rewards associated with these cards. The target

    audiences for these credit cards are HNIs and top management in corporates.

    ii)Cash Back Credit Cards: These kinds of cards provide rebate to the customer. This is

    possible because when you shop, your merchant has to pay a small sum to the credit card

    provider. Quite a few credit card issuers share the commission with the cardholders by giving

    them rebate cash back and even discounts. Generally this amount ranges between 0.25% to

    1.5%. The target audiences for these kinds of cards are working people.

    iii)Secured Credit Cards:Its a type of card which is secured by savings bank account of

    the cardholder for which the card holder must deposit 100% to 200% of the total amount of

    the desired credit. In case the credit card holder defaults the credit card issuer can recover the

    amount from deposit amount. The target audiences for these kinds of cards are students and

    people with poor credit history.

    iv)Business Credit Cards:These cards are available for business owners and executives.They are more or less similar to the premium cards. This enables business owners to keep

    separate transactions for personal and business purposes.

    v)Prepaid Credit Cards:These are like prepaid cards, somewhat similar to debit cards.

    They work on the theme of pay now and use at your convenience, very similar to prepaid

    mobile phone cards. Cardholder needs to load the desired amount which s/he wishes to use.

    There are no interest charges but a purchasing fee plus monthly fees is levied. Target group

    for these cards are students, working people.

    organization, but in general is the organization that the merchant deals with.

    vii)Credit Card association: An association of card-issuing banks such

    asDiscover,Visa,MasterCard,American Express,etc. that set transaction terms for

    merchants, card-issuing banks, and acquiring banks.

    viii)Transaction network: The system that implements the mechanics of the electronic

    transactions. May be operated by an independent company, and one company may operate

    multiple networks.

    balance for each card issued using their name. Examples of typical affinity partners are

    sports teams, universities, charities, professional organizations, and major retailers.

    3.2 HISTORY OF ICICIBANKING SYSTEM

    ICICI Bank was originally promoted in 1994 by ICICI Limited, an Indian financial

    institution, and was its wholly-owned subsidiary. ICICI's shareholding in ICICI Bank was

    reduced to 46% through a public offering of shares in India in fiscal 1998, an equity offering

    in the form of ADRs listed on the NYSE in fiscal 2000, ICICI Bank's acquisition of Bank of

    Madura Limited in an all-stock amalgamation in fiscal 2001, and secondary market sales by

    ICICI to institutional investors in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002. ICICI was formed in 1955 at

    the initiative of the World Bank, the Government of India and representatives of Indian

    industry. The principal objective was to create a development financial institution for

    providing medium-term and long-term project financing to Indian businesses.

    In the 1990s, ICICI transformed its business from a development financial institution offering

    only project finance to a diversified financial services group offering a wide variety of

    products and services, both directly and through a number of subsidiaries and affiliates like

    ICICI Bank. In 1999, ICICI become the first Indian company and the first bank or financial

    institution from non-Japan Asia to be listed on the NYSE.

    After consideration of various corporate structuring alternatives in the context of the

    emerging competitive scenario in the Indian banking industry, and the move towards

    universal banking, the managements of ICICI and ICICI Bank formed the view that the

    merger of ICICI with ICICI Bank would be the optimal strategic alternative for both entities,

    and would create the optimal legal structure for the ICICI group's universal banking strategy.

    The merger would enhance value for ICICI shareholders through the merged entity's access

    to low-cost deposits, greater opportunities for earning fee-based income and the ability to

    participate in the payments system and provide transaction-banking services. The merger

    would enhance value for ICICI Bank shareholders through a large capital base and scale of

    operations, seamless access to ICICI's strong corporate relationships built up over five

    decades, entry into new business segments, higher market share in various business segments,

    particularly fee-based services, and access to the vast talent pool of ICICI and its

    subsidiaries.

    In October 2001, the Boards of Directors of ICICI and ICICI Bank approved the merger of

    ICICI and two of its wholly-owned retail finance subsidiaries, ICICI Personal Financial

    Services Limited and ICICI Capital Services Limited, with ICICI Bank. The merger was

    approved by shareholders of ICICI and ICICI Bank in January 2002, by the High Court of

    Gujarat at Ahmedabad in March 2002, and by the High Court of Judicature at Mumbai and

    the Reserve Bank of India in April 2002. Consequent to the merger, the ICICI group's

    financing and banking operations, both wholesale and retail, have been integrated in a single

    entity.

    ICICI Bank has formulated a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for its directors and

    employees.

    CREDIT CARD V/S DEBIT CARD

    Meaning:- A debit cardis either linked to a bank account or is a prepaid card. In either case,

    the card draws on funds that the consumer (owner of the card) has already deposited with a

    financial institution. On the other hand, a credit cardis a kind of loan. When a consumer

    uses a credit card, the financial institution fronts to the consumer credit (a loan). Purchases

    are totaled and billed monthly and the user pays a few weeks after receiving the monthly bill.
