4. 4. In some countries, the two functions of ATM cards and debit cards are
combined into a single card called a debit card or also commonly called a bank
card. These are able to perform banking tasks at ATMs and also make point-ofsale transactions, both functions using a PIN. Unlike a debit card, in-store
purchases or refunds with an ATM card can generally be made in person only, as
they require authentication through a personal identification number or PIN. In
other words, ATM cards cannot be used at merchants that only accept credit
cards. A card that will allow you to withdraw money directly from your bank via
an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) but it will not allow the holder to purchase
anything directly with it.Cash Card or ATM Card
5. 5. Credit Card
6. 6. A credit card is a small plastic card issued to users as a system of payment. It
allows its holder to buy goods and services based on the holders promise to pay
for these goods and services. The issuer of the card creates a revolving account
and grants a line of credit to the consumer (or the user) from which the user can
borrow money for payment to a merchant or as a cash advance to the user.
Again this card will permit the card holder to withdraw cash from an ATM, and a
credit card will allow the user to purchase goods and services directly, but unlike
a Cash Card the money is basically a high interest loan to the card holder,
although the card holder can avoid any interest charges by paying the balance
off in full each month.What are Credit Cards ?

payment to themerchant and the merchant submits the transaction to the
acquirer(acquiring bank). The acquirer verifies the credit card number,
thetransaction type and the amount with the issuer (Card-issuing bank)and
reserves that amount of the cardholders credit limit for themerchant. An
authorization will generate an approval code, which themerchant stores with the
transaction.2. Batching: Authorized transactions are stored in "batches",

end of the business day. If a transaction is not submitted in thebatch, the
authorization will stay valid for a period determined by theissuer, after which the
held amount will be returned to the cardholdersavailable credit

the merchant.The merchant receives the amount totaling the funds in the batch
minus eitherthe "discount rate," "mid-qualified rate", or "non-qualified rate"
