A debit card is also referred to as plastic card or check card. It can be used at multiple points of sale including petrol pump, merchant outlets (online and offline), payment of utility bills etc., It is similar to that of credit card, however, in credit card, the bank allows the card holder to use the card at points of sale without actually holding as much cash in the account with the bank, it is an arrangement where the bank allows the cardholder to swipe the card at outlets by offering a short-term credit or loan.
