The true statement about debit cards is: When you use one, the money is taken directly from your bank account.

Here’s a brief overview of the other statements:

  • "You can run up huge debts if you don’t pay the balance off quickly." - This is true for credit cards, not debit cards, as debit cards withdraw money directly from your bank account.

  • "They usually charge a lower interest rate than credit cards." - Debit cards do not accrue interest since they draw from your bank account, unlike credit cards which charge interest on unpaid balances.

  • "They are issued by networks such as Visa." - While it is true that many debit cards can be issued with Visa or Mastercard branding, it is not a defining characteristic of debit cards themselves.

Thus, the most accurate answer is about the direct withdrawal from your bank account.
