The statement that is true regarding credit cards is: "You will save money if you pay the balance off quickly."
This is true because credit cards typically have high-interest rates, and if you carry a balance, the interest can accumulate quickly. By paying off the balance in full each month, you can avoid interest charges altogether, effectively saving you money.
The other statements have inaccuracies:
- Credit card interest rates can vary widely, but they are often higher than 5%, and can exceed 20% or more.
- You can track how much you owe on a credit card through statements and online banking.
- You can use a credit card to purchase items beyond your current bank balance, as credit cards provide a line of credit up to a certain limit.
