1. Overdraft. When making consumption, the debit card does not have an overdraft function. If users want to spend, they can only deposit money first. Credit cards have an overdraft function, allowing users to consume first and pay later, and have a longer interest-free period.
2. Interest. Generally speaking, the money in a debit card is calculated according to the current interest rate, while in a credit card, no interest will be generated, whether it is the inherent limit or the "overpayment" deposited by the user.
3. Withdrawal. Although both have cash withdrawal functions, there are also big differences. Debit cards can withdraw all account balances. A credit card can usually only withdraw 50% of the total credit limit. There is no handling fee for withdrawing cash with a debit card in our bank, while a credit card requires a handling fee of 1-2% of the cash withdrawal amount, and interest is also required.
4. Annual fee. Most debit cards have no annual fees, while the annual fees for credit cards range from dozens to several thousand yuan, or even tens of thousands of yuan. If a credit card user defaults on the annual fee, the bank will report it to the central bank's credit reporting system, which will stain his personal credit and affect future loan approvals.
