Revolving Credit Account

A revolving credit account lets a borrower reuse credit up to a set credit limit as balances are repaid. Available credit replenishes as payments post, and interest may apply if the balance is not paid in full.

Examples include credit cards and lines of credit. Revolving accounts usually have a monthly statement cycle and a minimum payment, and they affect credit utilization. CFPB overview: Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
