Yes - and no. They both allow you ro make purchases without actually handing over any money at the time the transaction occurs - but... A CREDIT card - allows you to make purchases up to the agreed credit limit on your account. A DEBIT card - only allows you to make purchases IF there is sufficient money in your bank account to pay for the purchase immediately (a kind of electronic cash).
Credit cards and debit cards are similar in that they are both plastic cards that can be used to make purchases without using cash. They are both linked to a bank account and can be used to make online purchases, in-store transactions, and withdraw cash from ATMs.
Based on the cards I have, if it is a debit card the word Debit appears on the front above the Visa, Mastercard or American Express logo. Credit cards typically only contain the logo.
No, credit cards are loans and debit cards are checks.
Credit cards say "credit" And debit cards say "debit". Hope this helps!

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). The difference between a credit and debit card is that debit cards traditionally do not affect your credit rating, whereas credit cards do.

Both debit and credit cards can be used to make purchases at businesses that accept them and on online. Debit cards are connected to your checking account, so you must have money in your account to use them. Credit cards are credit, so you can use them until they reach your credit limit. Either can be blocked by the bank if they suspect fraud or suspicious activity, so it is best to carry a second card or cash for backup.
All debit cards can be used as credit.
No, you cannot pay with a debit card using a credit card. Debit cards and credit cards are different payment methods with separate accounts and functions.
A debit card is a way to access the money in your bank account so your money is secure and safe in a bank. A credit card represents money that you do not have and is a way to buy things with something similar to a loan. The name "Visa" is printed on both debit and credit cards
