> Aren't people who use credit cards a lot more risky to the bank, in the sense that they might not have enough fund

Look at it another way, a person who for years has been able to handle having a few hundred dollars in revolving accounts, and never missed a payment, would appear as a lower risk than someone who has never had any kind of loan before.

I assume you are from America. In our country (in the Balkans), a completely different logic prevails. Although I believe that this principle will come to life in our country at some point, since we follow the trends, and America is always light years ahead of us.

Using the credit card responsibly looks good to the bank. However you can also use it poorly which looks bad to the bank. So just having a credit card isn't enough. They look at how you are using it.
