Debit cards are similar to credit cards, but only let you spend money in your account.
They are an alternative to cash, but still allow you purchase items that require a credit card number. Because they are linked to your bank account, they usually work in ATMs.
Note: Most debit cards allow you to overdraw your account, where your bank balance goes into the negative. Ask your bank about any fees they will charge for this.
