When you use credit card for purchasing goods and services, the credit card issuer pays for it first and you pay the credit card company. On the other hand, when you purchase using a debit card, your purchases are charged to your bank account.

What is a debit card used for?

A debit card is similar to a credit card, as they typically will contain a Visa, Mastercard or American Express logo. There are two typical types of non-credit cards: gifts cards (which do not have your name on the card) or debit cards (with your name). Debit cards are issued by a bank and generally have conditions for use and monthly maintenance fees. Debit cards can be used in many of the same ways a credit card can: in-person purchases, online purchases, ATM withdrawal (check your card).

How does a debit card and credit card differ in their functions?

You can use both debit card and a credit card to purchase goods and services. However, with a credit card your purchases are on credit, which means, the credit company who issued the card pays for the goods and services on your behalf. You then pay the credit company. On the other hand, the debit card is directly linked to your bank and every time you use the debit card to pay for your purchases, the amount is deducted to your money in the bank. Although there could be some deals that you can arrange with the bank regarding how the purchases are deducted and about your limits.
