The market includes various financial products but primarily consists of credit cards and loans. Though both these are credits and lend you money in times of need, they have a thin line of difference.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With the advancements in technology, lenders also have developed a credit card app and <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/in\/app\/bajaj-finserv\/id505454145?mt=8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">loan app<\/a> <\/em><\/strong>that enables easy application and approval.

You use a credit card to make payments for any purchase first and pay back the amount to the lender within a given period. You get to enjoy a specific period of days for repayment. This includes a billing period of 30 days from the bill generation date and an additional grace period of 15 days, which varies between lenders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Repaying within this period will help you avoid accruing interest on your credit card dues. You can make use of a credit card app to track your payment due date and other necessary information.<\/p>\n<p><b style=\"font-size: 1.21429rem\">What is a Loan?<\/b><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p><div class=\"rnxpt673f1bab5279d\" ><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1998875270506674\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"5700030306\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 1201px) {\r\n.rnxpt673f1bab5279d {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 993px) and (max-width: 1200px) {\r\n.rnxpt673f1bab5279d {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 769px) and (max-width: 992px) {\r\n.rnxpt673f1bab5279d {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 768px) {\r\n.rnxpt673f1bab5279d {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {\r\n.rnxpt673f1bab5279d {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n<\/style>\r\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is a sum of funds that you borrow from financial institutions and NBFCs.
