are debit card and atm card same

No, a debit card and an ATM card are not the same, although they share some features. While both are linked to your bank account and can be used for cash transactions at an ATM, their key differences lie in their functions.

• An ATM card is primarily limited to cash withdrawals, deposits, and checking the balance at an Automated Teller Machine.
• A debit card offers all the functions of an ATM card and also allows you to make purchases in stores (Point of Sale) and online, as it has wider functionality for payments.
