What is a Debit Card?
Before we go any further we'd better explain for those of you who don't know what one is what a Debit Card Actually does and how it is different from a credit card.

It's quite simple really.. a credit card allows you to spend money you do not have in your bank via a 'credit' limit you have agreed with your credit card provider (your bank normally). For example you might have a £500 credit limit on your credit card so you go shopping spend that £500 in one day. The bad news is you will be then paying a huge sum of interest on that £500 you have been given as credit.
