Explanation of Solution

Using a debit card is just like using cash because, in order to use debit card, one must have balance in the account so that he/she can clear the transaction made with the debit card. Without having balance in the bank account, one cannot use the debit card. On the other hand, credit card is just like loan that does not require minimum balance in the account in order to use the card. But the holder of the credit card has to pay back the money borrowed with the credit card.
