bank card

Definition

Bank-issued plastic card with a magnetic stripe that holds machine readable identification code. Bank cards are used for electronic commerce (with magnetic stripe readers or via Internet) and for banking transactions through automatic teller machines (ATMs). Two main types of bank cards are credit cards (which allow drawing of funds up to an approved credit limit) and debit cards (which allow drawing of funds up to the available balance in cardholder's account).
