Helpful Information about Debit Cards
When you swipe your card in store, you can select either debit or credit at the register. If you select debit, you will need to enter your four-digit PIN. If you select credit, you will need to sign a copy of the receipt. Both transactions will pull from your checking account in the same way. You will also need to enter your PIN to withdraw from an ATM.
A debit card is a great option for many. Users don’t pay interest on their purchases and transactions appear on monthly checking account statements, making it easier to track spending. In contrast to credit cards, debit cards make it difficult to overspend since users are limited to the funds available in their account. Debit cards are a practical tool for money management and helping users live within their means.
There are some limitations for debit cards, include daily purchase limits, lesser fraud protections, and a lack of influence on your credit score.

Cash Back at the Store -- The ATM Alternative!
Debit Card holders have another way to withdraw cash besides the ATM -- get cash back when checking out at most stores.
When purchasing at a participating retailer, choose the “Debit” option and enter your PIN instead of choosing “Credit” and signing for your purchase. This gives you the opportunity to receive cash back with no fees from the transaction.
