It’s hard to fathom how much the financial industry has changed in the past several decades. Before the first charge card was introduced in 1950, “cash and cany” was pretty much the rule for most purchases. Prior to widespread use of automated teller machines (ATMs) in the late 1970s, many people wasted their Friday lunch hour waiting in long bank lines to cash their paychecks.
Another banking innovation - the debit card - has had a major impact on how many of us now manage our finances and make purchases.
Debit cards are enhanced banking cards directly linked to your bank account. Along with making ATM withdrawals from your checking or savings account, you can also use debit cardS to purchase goods at point-of-sale merchant locations without having to write a check. In either case, the amount is automatically deducted from your account, just as though you had written a check.
Key debit card benefits include:
• Can be used at ATMs, 24/7, to withdraw cash or make deposits instead of waiting for a teller during regular banking hours.
• Makes paying at a checkout counter quicker and more convenient-no need to fill out a check or present identification and wait while it’s written down or verified.
