Credit card types are user-defined. Credit Card Types allow you to categorize different types of credit cards such as debit cards, Visa, Diner's Club, Discover, etc. Credit card types are used in the Setup > Names > Names > Credit Cards tab. They identify the types of credit cards, expiration date, security key, etc. that can be added to a Name.
