How it's used
Most people in Hong Kong now refer to this simply as an ATM card, often using the English term directly in conversation. While 提款卡 is the formal name, you will hear locals say ATM卡 far more frequently in daily life. It is specifically associated with cash withdrawals at machines rather than credit card transactions.
