Open-End Credit

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Legal, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Open-end credit
Revolving line of credit that is extended with every purchase or cash advance.

Line of Credit
An agreement between a bank and a company or an individual to provide a certain amount in loans on demand from the borrower. The borrower is under no obligation to actually take out a loan at any particular time, but may take part of the funds at any time over a period of several years. This agreement is fairly common in situations in which a business must make payroll but does not always have the operating income to do so, especially when its operating income is seasonal or otherwise varies from month to month. It is also called open-end credit or a revolving line of credit. See also: Credit Card.
