From the neighbourhood grocery store to international websites, the debit card enjoys universal acceptance, making it a secure and convenient means of paying money. Given the great utility of this simple plastic card, most banks today offer it to customers at the time of opening a savings account. If you are still mulling over whether or not to avail a debit card with your account, read on to find out why it is essential to opt for a debit card with your account.5 Good Reasons to Avail a Debit Card with Your Account1. Convenient & Easy to UseA debit card offers a high level of ease and convenience. Since the payment is deducted directly from your bank account, the transaction is inevitably smooth and instant. Besides, it is super-easy to use, merely requiring the cardholder to remember their PIN (Personal Identification Number).2. Access to Cash Many people think of payment apps as performing nearly the same functions as a debit card. However, the latter has a distinct edge over the former \u2013 it allows you to withdraw cash from an ATM, eliminating the need to visit your bank for cash withdrawal. 3. Safe & SecureA debit card comes with robust security features such as the four-digit PIN which you could set and change yourself. Moreover, you get SMS alerts whenever a transaction is made. Even online payments via your debit card are typically approved only after a One-Time Password OTP sent to your registered mobile number is correctly entered. Last but not least, your debit card can quickly be frozen online, preventing potential theft.4. Rewards & Cash-backIn the past, credit cards – not debit cards – were known for offering attractive rewards and cashback options to customers. However, many banks today offer debit cards with similar attractive features. For instance, you could get discounts on specific products or services or earn reward points on using your debit card.5. Helps Set & Stick to a BudgetWith a debit card, you cannot spend more money than you have in your account. This automatically precludes the possibility of going into debt.
