Debit cards draw on funds from your checking account. Credit cards draw from your approved amount of credit. Debit card transactions usually happen instantaneously and can be seen in your account activity, while credit card transactions go toward a balance you’ll pay down at a later date–usually the end of the month and with interest.

Is an ATM card a debit card?
