Debit card
A debit card is a bank card directly linked to the cardholder’s current account. When used for payments, the amount is deducted from the customer’s account immediately or within a few days, differentiating it from a credit card, which is billed at the end of the month. Debit cards are widely used in Germany for everyday transactions such as shopping or withdrawing cash at ATMs. Popular debit card systems include Girocard, Maestro, and V PAY. They provide a convenient, fast, and widely accepted payment solution for both in-store and online purchases.
