For more than thirty years, UK banks have issued cards for use with cheques. The card would guarantee payment of the cheque up to a specific amount (£30, £50 or £100) even if funds were not available in the account. It made cheque payments secure for retailers.
The cards were either dedicated guarantee cards or they could be use as debit or credit cards, depending on the issuing bank.
In 2012, the cheque guarantee scheme was ended and paper cheques are no longer guaranteed. This move is in line with the UK banks' plans to withdraw cheques completely in the coming years.

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.
