Credit

Considering credit over cash? Credit cards can be a convenient and flexible form of payment, but they have to be used responsibly in order to make the most of your money. Though credit cards allow you to purchase items instantly without using cash, it’s important to use your cards as carefully as you would handle your cash.

Before getting a credit card get your credit report and score for better visibility on your credit history and credit worthiness which will in turn empower you to make smarter decisions about your current and future finances.

In the UAE, you can get your credit report and score from Al Etihad Credit Bureau (AECB) website, aecb.gov.ae or by downloading the app, available in Google Play and Apple Store .

Before choosing a credit card, take time to understand its features and how it can affect your credit score.
