  Debit card - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Overall, the online debit card is generally viewed as superior to the offline debit card because of its more secure authentication system and live status, which alleviates problems with processing lag on transactions that may have been forgotten or not authorized by the owner of the card.
Offline debit cards in some countries are not compatible with the PIN system, in which case they can be used with a forged signature, since users are rarely required to present identification.
Debit cards are also similar to stored-value cards in that they represent a finite amount of money owed by the card issuer to the holder.
