Abstract: Debit cards and credit cards are two different payment methods, and there are obvious differences between them. A debit card is a card issued by a bank, which can be used to pay for consumption, but is subject to a balance limit; a credit card is a card issued by a bank, which has a certain credit limit, and can be used to pay for consumption, but requires payment of interest.
Text: 1. The difference between debit card and credit card. A debit card is a card issued by a bank and can be used to pay for consumption, but is limited by the balance. The consumption amount cannot exceed the balance; while a credit card is a card issued by a bank. It has a certain credit limit and can be used to pay for consumption. But interest needs to be paid.
2. Purpose of debit and credit cards. Debit cards can be used to pay for daily consumption, such as buying food, clothes, etc.; while credit cards can be used to pay for large purchases, such as purchasing home appliances, vehicles, and other large purchases.
