Credit and debit accounts refer to the money we use in everyday transactions, such as paying for our daily coffee with a credit card, or taking out cash from an ATM machine. This is done through various types of financial accounts—credit and debit accounts—that are provided by different banks and other financial institutions. Credit accounts allow us to borrow money and make purchases that we can later pay back over time, while debit accounts enable us to access funds we have already deposited into the accounts. By understanding the differences between these types of accounts, we can choose the one that best fits our needs.
