    I’d never heard of this, how do the banks make any money on the card, annual fees or something?

        No, we had a flat annual fee for usage. There was a fee for withdrawing cash but no making purchases.

      Processing or transaction fees. Anytime you use your card for a purchase the bank gets a cut of that. This fee can range from .1% to 4%, depending on the credit card processor.
