Charge Cards - Portugal

Amongst Portuguese consumers, the difference between charge cards and credit cards is still unclear. When asked about the difference between both cards, the most common reply is that a charge card is a type of credit card. The fact that most banks do not have such a card also helps to maintain its anonymity. The lack of attention paid to this card by Portuguese banks was due to the lack of restraints on credit, caused both by banks and by excess client demand.
