The size of most credit cards is 360;3⁄8 × 260;1⁄860;in (860 × 59860;mm), conforming to the ISO/IEC 7810 ID 1 standard. Credit cards have a printed or embossed bank card number complying with the ISO/IEC 7812 numbering standard. Both of these standards are maintained and further developed by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 17/WG Before magnetic stripe readers came into widespread use, plastic credit cards issued by many department stores were produced on stock ("Princess" or "CR 50") slightly longer and narrower than 781 The fact that credit card companies can change the interest rate on debts that were incurred when a different rate of interest was in place is similar to adjustable rate mortgages where interest rates on current debt may rise. However, in both cases, this is agreed to in advance, and is a trade off that allows a lower initial rate as well as the possibility of an even lower rate (mortgages, if interest rates fall) or perpetually keeping a below market rate (credit cards, if the user makes their debt payments on time). The universal default practice was encouraged by federal regulators, particularly those at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), as a means of managing the changing risk profiles of cardholders. It's best to use cash instead of credit cards for everyday purchases like groceries, fuel, watching a movie, etc. Using credit card can become quite addicting if you use it every chance you get so if you have the funds, always use cash. The numbers of people who are facing mounting credit card debts are on the rise. While it's true that credit cards have numerous benefits, it can cause one's financial situation to spiral out of control quickly if he or she is not able to use credit cards responsibly. Because credit card companies make it so appealing to enroll for a card via perks, bonuses, zero interest purchases and special privileges, more and more people are using credit cards much more than debit cards. Low introductory credit card rates are limited to a fixed term, usually between 6 and 12 months, after which a higher rate is charged. As all credit cards charge fees and interest, some customers become so indebted to their credit card provider that they are driven to bankruptcy. Some credit cards often levy a rate of 20 to 30 percent after a payment is missed. In other cases a fixed charge is levied without change to the interest rate. In some cases universal default may apply: the high default rate is applied to a card in good standing by missing a payment on an unrelated account from the same provider. This can lead to a snowball effect in which the consumer is drowned by unexpectedly high interest rates. Further, most card holder agreements enable the issuer to arbitrarily raise the interest rate for any reason they see fit. First Premier Bank at one point offered a credit card with a 79% interest rate; however, they discontinued this card in February 2011 because of persistent defaults.
