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.
