No. A debit card and a cash card are different.

@MathFan12 Why debit? That is, how does a person know this is true about a debit card:

" type of card that has the most secure features and encrypts all her information."

@divagirl421

Look at @Directrix link. Smart Card is the correct answer. Funny I've never even heard of it.

Answer 13

me either

Answer 14

I have never heard of it and thought it was a "filler" option. Smart cards appear to be used in Europe. My library card has a chip in it as described in the link. My "banking" cards have the stripe technology.

Answer 15

OP, do you live in Europe? Would never see that test question in the US.
