Follow-up stupid American question - what's "bank cards"? Is it like a business cards with your banking information on it that you give to someone so they can send you money?
- scarejunba 7y agoIt's an ATM card.
- chrisseaton 7y ago...it's a card that you use to pay for things in store, taking money from your bank and giving it to the store, and to get money from ATMs, taking money from your bank and giving it to you in cash. I know for a fact you have them in the US. A 'debit card' maybe? It uses the Visa or Mastercard payment networks, supports chip, contactless, swipe, or you can enter the numbers online, and also has useful information like your bank account number and routing number on. If you give other people that information they can pay you money even though you're not a store. Which is what happened here.
- astura 7y agoYeah, debit card or ATM card. I didn't know that bank account number was writen on it in Europe, thanks for the info.
- chrisseaton 7y agoYes it's like a debit card, and ATM card, and helpful reminder of your bank account details, all in one. And it's supported by Mastercard and Visa, so you can use it anywhere you can use a creditcard, even though it's not a creditcard.
