A line of credit, also called a credit line, is an arrangement between a bank or vendor and its customer that extends a certain amount of unsecured credit to that customer. A line of credit represents the maximum amount that the customer is allowed to borrow and owe. It acts as a loan, but, unlike a loan, a line of credit usually doesn't require you to pay interest on the credit you don't use. A line of credit is usually more fitting as a short-term loan than a long-term solution. Credit programs use a line of credit as a factor in their approval process; for this reason, borrowers might want to treat their line of credit as more than a mere guideline. Used wisely, a line of credit can help one's financial growth, personally or professionally.
