What is a Debit Card?

A Debit Card provides electronic access to your Savings Account through ATM machines or over the counter or online purchases. It has similar functions to those of Credit Cards, with the main difference being that the amount is deducted from the user's Account directly and immediately. Usually, a Debit Card issued from a Bank can be often used globally and the most common Debit Card issuers are American Express, Master Card, and Visa.
