 Credit Cards and You


This section of FCAC's Web site will help you answer all the questions you may have about credit cards.

The Credit Card Interactive Tool is designed to help you shop around for credit cards that best suit your needs. After answering a few quick questions, the tool will provide you with a list of credit cards suited to your needs and profile.

The tool is accompanied by links to some of our publications which provide information to help you understand the terms and conditions of your credit card agreement, your rights and responsibilities, your credit report and credit score, and how to save money with a credit card.
