What this product does

Lines of credit: A revolving limit you draw on and repay, usually paying interest only on what is outstanding.

A line of credit is revolving, so the balance can rise and fall, and interest is charged on what is outstanding rather than on the whole limit.

A revolving limit can be drawn, repaid and drawn again, and interest accrues on the outstanding balance.

A minimum payment is required each period, and paying only the minimum leaves the balance in place.
