What is the difference between check card debit card and credit card?
A check card and debit card are the same thing. Basically, if you already have a checking account, you would use a debit/check card the same way you would if you wrote a check. You make sure that you have the money in your checking account, scan the card at the retailer, and they will deduct that money from your checking account. A credit card is a loan. You don't necessarily need a checking account to have a credit card. When you swipe the credit card, the credit card company is paying for your purchase out of their money. In turn, they will send you a statement or invoice at the end of each month detailing how much you spent and how much you must pay. The major difference is that a credit card can lead to debt if you aren't disciplined. If you only use a check/debit card, you will never go into debt. When you run out of money in your checking account, new transactions will be declined.

You deposit the money into your checking account. A debit card is just a tool to spend the money that is in your checking account. Many people confuse debit card with credit cards. The difference is that a credit card is a type of loan, in which the bank is loaning you money to buy things with when you swipe the card and you have to pay it back over time. When you swipe your debit card, the purchase is paid for with money in your checking account immediately. Wells Fargo also sells Visa prepaid debit cards, which is a card you can buy with a preset amount, ie $300. When you spend all $300 on the card, you can't use it anymore and have to throw it away.
