Question

what is the difference between a debit card and a smart card?

Answer 1

They're pretty much the same thing, except a smart card uses a microchip embedded into the card that you would insert to make a quick and easy transaction, instead with just a normal debit card you would just swipe. I hope this helps :)

Answer 2

the difference is a smart card has a IC chip to process it's data. a debit card is linked to an account.
