Detail
The issuing bank assumes primary liability for the consumer's capacity to pay off debts they incur with their card.
In the case of credit cards, the issuing bank extends a line of credit to the consumer. Liability for non-payment is then shared by the issuing bank and the acquiring bank, according to rules established by the card association brand.
