What is consumer credit?

Consumer credit refers to the ability of individuals to borrow money or access goods and services with the agreement to pay later. This includes loans, credit cards, lines of credit, and other financial products that allow consumers to finance purchases over time. Consumer credit is widely used for buying items like cars, appliances, and even everyday expenses. Responsible use of consumer credit can help build a strong credit history, but misuse can lead to debt and financial challenges.
