DISCLAIMER
Store Card Transactions
A store card (also known as a retailer or private label card) contains a “pay later” component and revolving line of credit similar to credit cards. However, store cards must contain usage limited to specific stores within a predefined retail group unlike retailer co-branded cards. Co-branded credit cards issued by retailers acting as financial institutions and without usage restrictions fall into the credit card category.
