Typically, both cards carry the logo of a major credit card company, such as Visa or Mastercard, and both can be swiped at retailers to purchase goods and services. A debit card , however, uses funds from your bank account. A credit card uses a credit line that can be paid back later, which gives you more time to pay.
A customer's credit line depends on their creditworthiness, and they can decide how and when to spend the line of credit and are usually billed on a monthly cycle. A debit card may come with an overdraft line of credit connected to a customer's checking account to cover overspending.
A credit card has a specified amount of credit attached to it, and if a consumer tries to spend beyond the credit limit, the card will be denied. A debit card might look like a credit card, but it is distinctly different from one. A debit card is issued by a bank to their customers to access funds without having to write a paper check or make a cash withdrawal.
A debit card is linked to one's checking account and can be used anywhere credit cards are permitted. If your debit card has a Visa logo, for example, it can be used anywhere that takes Visa. When you use a debit card, the bank places a hold on the amount you have spent. Depending on the purchase amount and your bank, the money will go immediately out of your account or be held by the bank for 24 hours or longer. You can use your debit card to withdraw cash from your checking account using a unique personal identification number PIN.
When you use your debit card for a purchase, you may be asked for your PIN, or you may be asked to sign for the purchase, similar to a credit card. For people trying to budget or not over-extend themselves financially, a debit card linked to a checking account may be a better option than a credit card. Some debit cards are prepaid, and funds are loaded onto the card by a financial institution. These cards can be used in the same manner as a standard-issued debit bank card.
However, prepaid cards are just that prepaid, and they are not linked to a person's checking account. An automated teller machine ATM card and a debit card are similar. They both allow you to withdraw funds from your checking or savings account at an ATM.
However, while both cards can allow you to withdraw cash, usually only a debit card has a Visa or Mastercard log allowing it to be used to purchase goods and services. An ATM card can only be used to withdraw funds from your account. A credit card is a debt instrument for financial transactions instead of cash or a check or a debit card. Depending on its owner's creditworthiness, a credit card may have a high spending limit or a lower one. When you use a credit card, the purchase amount is automatically added to your outstanding balance.
With most credit card companies, a customer has 30 days to pay before interest is charged on the outstanding balance, though in some cases, interest starts accruing right away. Responsible credit card users can often earn points and rewards from card issuers, and using credit in a positive manner helps build and maintain a strong credit score.
Interest rates on credit cards can be notoriously high; they are a chief way credit card companies make money. Savvy consumers can avoid paying it by settling their balance in full each month. When you use a debit card, the money is automatically taken out of your checking account.
When you use a credit card, you pay the bill later.
