Customer: I want to ask about a credit card, yesterday I just opened a credit card, but I don't know
what a credit card is?
Teller: Well ma’am, I'll explain what a credit card is, so credit card is a type of payment card in which
charges are made against a line of credit instead of the account holder's cash deposits. When
someone uses a credit card to make a purchase, that person's account accrues a balance that must
be paid off each month.
Customer : Oh Ok, but can you explain at once how to use a credit card, please?
The first,
The customer finds a product that he or she likes and decides to make the purchase. The customer
can use a credit card to pay for the item in the store, through an online payment gateway, by phone,
or by mail.
The second,
The credit card is swiped or dipped using a secure credit card reader, or the card and transaction
information is manually entered using a virtual terminal. For eCommerce transactions, the
cardholder keys in the payment details on a hosted payment form on the website.
The third,
The credit card data is encrypted and transmitted for approval as the terminal, POS system, or
secure payment gateway is connected to the processing network.
The next,
Once the data is transmitted, the credit card issuer can approve or decline the transaction. This is
based on the validity of the card
Then,
If the transaction is approved, the processor and the merchant receive an authorization response.
Then,
This closes out the transactions that have been processed on that day. The processor’s acquiring
bank then collects the funds from the credit card issuers.
The processor’s acquiring bank then deposits the funds into the merchant’s business account. This
typically takes up to 48 hours.
Teller: You're Welcome Ma'am, is there anything I can help again Ma'am?
