What is a Debit Card?

A simple debit card definition: Your debit card is a card issued from your bank that's automatically linked to your checking account, allowing you to make purchases both in person and online. A debit card can be used to make ATM transactions including deposits and withdrawals and can also be used for mobile payments like Apple Pay®, Google Wallet™, and Samsung Pay. For many, a debit card has become a new way to use cash because of its convenience, safety features, and contactless payments.

What's the difference between credit and debit cards?

Unlike a credit card, your debit card is tied directly to your checking account, so if you use your debit card to make a purchase, you'll see that money deducted from your checking account in real time rather than charging a line of credit and paying later.
