Generally speaking credit card companies make money in several ways. One way is to charge the consumer a yearly fee to use the card. They also make money by charging unpaid balances interest. And, their interest rates are well above the interest rates thet themselves pay to banks, for example. A large credit card company can in current times pay a rate of interest well under 7%, well under. On the other hand, they charge their customers rates anywhere from 12% to 17% or higher. They are not permitted to charge over 23.9% on cash balances. Discover Card, for example charges 23.9% on cash balances. In addition to this robbery, they charge merchants who accept credit payments for merchandise they sell a 5% fee.
