Wednesday, 21 December 2011 19:50 An ATM card is a plastic card
issued by a financial institution that allows the card holder to
get basic financial services from an automated teller machine.
These services include: deposits, withdrawals up to a specified
limit per day, and account balance inquiries. An ATM card
requires that a personal identification number (PIN) be used in
order to access the account. A debit card is a plastic card
issued by a financial institution that can be used like a credit
card. The difference is that a credit card allows the card
holder to borrow money for a purchase, and a debit card makes an
electronic payment immediately from the card holder's checking
account or savings account. A debit card is also called a "check
card" or a "cash card." Many financial institutions issue an
ATM/Debit Card. This card has the functionality of both an ATM
Card and a Debit Card. Do you have an ATM or debit card, and how
often do you use it? Don't forget to include your Aware Teens
