ATM

is atm and debit card same

No, an ATM card and a debit card are not the same, although a debit card performs all ATM card functions. The primary difference lies in their allowed usage:
  • An ATM card is typically limited to cash withdrawals, deposits, and balance enquiries only at an Automated Teller Machine (ATM).
  • A debit card has wider functionality. It can be used at an ATM, but also for making purchases in stores (Point of Sale or POS) and online, as it is linked to a global payment network like Visa or Mastercard.
