Final answer:

A service charge is a fee assessed by a lender or financial institution for providing a service,

Step-by-step explanation:

A service charge is a fee assessed by a lender or financial institution for providing a service, such as maintaining an account or offering customer support. On the other hand, a finance charge is a fee charged to a borrower for the cost of borrowing money, including the interest and any other fees associated with the loan.

For example, if you have a credit card, the annual fee or a fee for using an out-of-network ATM would be considered service charges. The interest charged on a credit card balance would be considered a finance charge.
