Debit+Cards

=Debit Cards =

A debit card is like a credit card but it’s used differently. With a credit card you can spend money you don’t have but you must pay it plus you pay extra fee. With a debit card you use the money that you already have. So you get in no trouble or have to pay anything back. A debit card is like a electronic checkbook.

I think debit card are the easy version of a checkbook because most people want their lives to be easier for them to live. If you ask me I also think that debit cards are more useful than checks to me. Debit cards have the owners signature at the back of the card. The name of the owner is printed on the front. Check account holds the money that the debit card has. The owner has to keep track of their check account because you are not aloud to go to negative money in your check account. A debit card was started most likely when some guy had enough of trading so he or she invented the debit card. Yes we still use a debit card today so we do not have to carry around $5,000 for example.
