What is it called if you borrow money on a credit card?

When you borrow money on a credit card, it's called a cash advance. A cash advance is when you use your credit card to get cash from an ATM or bank teller, or to transfer money to your bank account. Cash advances usually have higher interest rates than regular purchases, and they may also have fees associated with them. It's important to read the terms and conditions of your credit card agreement to understand the interest rates and fees associated with cash advances.
