How it's used

People in Hong Kong almost exclusively use the term 提款咭 to refer to any card used for withdrawing money at an ATM. While many modern bank cards are now combined with credit or debit functions, the term remains the standard way to describe the card used for cash withdrawals. It is common to hear people refer to the card simply as 咭 when the context of banking is already clear.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with 信用卡, which is specifically for credit card transactions. Using 提款咭 when you mean a credit card can cause confusion, especially when discussing payment methods at a shop.
