a debit card is used to withdraw money from your personal account while a credit card is money that you use from the banks account that does not belong to you and you to pay it back.
With a debit card, some banks will pass the fees onto you. This is why it's always important that you use your debit as credit. When you use your card as credit, you have the fees passed onto the merchant, rather than you.
no, it is a credit card. a mastercard can be either a debit or a credit card
Charges against a debit card are withdrawn directly from your checking account, it's similar to writing a check. Charges against a credit card are accumulated and you are sent a bill at the end of the month for the money you borrowed with possible fees. with a credit card you are using the banks money. with the debit card you are using your own money.
Debit
If your cerdit is good, your bank can issue a debit card (they are not "sold").
Companies that provide credit cards tend to be banks. In the United Kingdom, for example, Barclays, NatWest and Lloyds banks issue credit cards. These banks also offer debit cards.
Only if it is a "check card." Debit cards require a PIN number, but many banks have switched to check cards that can be used as either a debit or credit card. To find out for sure, next time you use your card, hit the "credit button." If it's a check card it will ask you to sign instead of entering your PIN. The check/debit card must have a Visa, Mastercard or a Discover symbol to work as a Credit purchase but still comes out of your checking account. Discover is just starting up there debit card network.
A debit card is a card that takes money straight out of the bank, however, a credit card lets you borrow money, but you must pay interest. So, a debit card does not build credit.
Yes, but the funds are still withdrawn from the account that the debit card it linked to ... in other words using the debit card as a credit card is still a point of sale transaction. You cannot be extended "credit" on a debit card.
No, credit cards are loans and debit cards are checks.
yes. just tell the redbox its a credit card, then just swipe your debit card.An Opposing Answer:A credit card is not the same as a debit card, and vice versa. If you process a debit card as a credit card when that debit card is not encoded as an alternative credit card, the transaction will fail.
