Most people don't want to pay a high interest rate. Credit card service providers decides what interest it will charge you, they determine that by looking at your history of paying bills. If you have a good reputation of paying bills on time, then you'll qualify for lower interest rates. If you haven't ever had any bills to pay, or if you've had trouble paying your bills, that will show in your credit history. As it's a riskier to lend you money, banks will charge a higher interest rate. People might also take a credit card with a higher interest rate for the gifts and rewards that come with that card.
