However, individual customers prefer using credit cards that work as payment cards, rewards and offers.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technically, a credit card is a type of unsecured LOC, but there is a huge difference between the two. Let\u2019s explore what is a line of credit, how credit cards work, and the difference of line of credit vs. credit cards.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-line-of-credit-and-credit-card-difference\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Line_of_Credit_And_Credit_Card_Difference\"><\/span>Line of Credit And Credit Card Difference<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although quite similar, lines of credit and credit cards are different in many ways.

You use a LOC for various personal or business purposes e.g., to expand your business, to pay off your debt, etc.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, you can pay your bills (personal or business) since it is cheaper than the other traditional debt arrangements.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Examples of lines of credit include <strong>personal LOC, business LOC, home equity LOC (HELOC), demand LOC<\/strong>, etc.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-how-does-a-line-of-credit-work\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does a line of credit work?<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typically when you request a line of credit, your finance provider will conduct a credit check and decide based on your financial behavior, how much amount he can lend to you. That is the maximum amount you can borrow and a line of credit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They provide an agreement, and based on your purpose, you can agree to take secured or unsecured or revolving or non-revolving LOCs. Mostly, LOCs are revolving (open-ended &#8211; allowing you to borrow frequently) unless specifically mentioned in the agreement to make it non-revolving.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-how-does-a-line-of-credit-impact-your-credit-score\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does a line of credit impact your credit score?<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your credit score drops when you borrow money more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bankrate.com\/loans\/personal-loans\/credit-score-fall-after-paying-loan\/#:~:text=You%20should%20try%20to%20only%20use%2030%20percent%20of%20your%20total%20credit%20across%20all%20debts.%20When%20you%20pay%20off%20a%20revolving%20line%20of%20credit%20or%20credit%20card%20in%20its%20entirety%20and%20close%20the%20account%2C%20it%20decreases%20the%20total%20amount%20of%20credit%20you%20have%20available%2C%20potentially%20increasing%20your%20remaining%20utilization%20rate.\">30%<\/a> of your credit limit set in a LOC. Thus, you should keep your borrowings up to 30% in a line of credit.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-how-long-will-your-line-of-credit-last\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long will your line of credit last?\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The period of a LOC depends on how long you will need to borrow the money. A regular <strong>HELOC lasts 10-15 years<\/strong>, while a personal or a business LOCs vary between <strong>5 to 15 years<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-is-the-line-of-credit-the-same-as-the-credit-limit\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the line of credit the same as the credit limit?<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A credit limit is the <strong>maximum amount you can borrow on a debt instrument<\/strong>, be it a credit card or any other instrument. Whereas a line of credit is a debt instrument with a maximum credit limit up to which you can borrow money.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-what-s-the-difference-between-a-personal-loan-and-a-line-of-credit\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s the difference between a personal loan and a line of credit?<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You borrow a personal loan from the lender with a lump sum amount and pay interest on the entire amount you borrowed. Whereas, in a line of credit you don\u2019t pay interest for the entire credit limit, but only for the portion you borrowed.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-can-you-withdraw-cash-from-line-of-credit\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you withdraw cash from line of credit?<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, a <strong>line of credit allows you to withdraw cash<\/strong> since many LOCs are offered these days in form of a card. However, for every amount you withdraw as cash, you have to pay interest as agreed in the LOC terms.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, whenever you borrow money from an LOC, it will impact your credit score, let\u2019s find out how.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-what-credit-score-do-you-need-to-get-a-personal-line-of-credit\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What credit score do you need to get a personal line of credit?\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A personal line of credit will <strong>require a credit score of <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/l\/lineofcredit.asp\"><strong>670 or higher<\/strong><\/a> since a good credit score can allow you to borrow money at a lower interest rate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that you have understood the LOC in detail, let\u2019s see how credit cards work and find out the differences between the two.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-what-is-a-credit-card\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_Credit_Card\"><\/span>What is a Credit Card?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A credit card is a payment card that allows you to make payments (pay bills, shop online, etc) on a credit basis. You can use credit cards for your payments and each month you repay the amount you used through credit cards.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Credit cards typically have an <strong>annual percentage rate (APR) <\/strong>which means a yearly interest rate that you will have to pay if you don\u2019t pay your credit card dues within a stipulated time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-how-does-a-credit-card-work\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does a credit card work?<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you apply for a credit card, the credit card issuer will run a credit check and decide a credit limit that you can use with a credit card. Once the credit card is issued to you, you can use it to borrow money for online or on-store purchases or bill payments.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You have to repay the money borrowed either in full or in installments. However, when you repay in installments, you have to pay interest as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-faqs-on-line-of-credit-vs-credit-card\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs_on_Line_of_Credit_vs_Credit_Card\"><\/span>FAQs on Line of Credit vs Credit Card<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\n<h3><strong>Credit line card vs. credit card: What\u2019s the difference?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A credit line card is an LOC that lets you borrow money within a credit limit provided by your finance provider.
