EC-Cash terminals and card payments

An overview 1. EC cards and how they work EC cards are debit cards offered by most banks in Europe. They allow customers to withdraw cash and make payments at ATMs. The cards can also be used for online purchases and payments. EC cards work similarly to credit cards, but the amount you can spend is limited to the balance in your bank account. If you have no money in your account, you therefore cannot use an EC card. Most EC cards use chip-and-PIN technology, which makes them harder for fraudsters to misuse. If your card is lost or stolen, you should have your account blocked immediately so that nobody else can use it to pay. 2.

Risks of paying with EC cards EC cards are issued by various banks and can have either a magnetic stripe or chip technology. Most EC cards, however, have a magnetic stripe that is sufficient for most transactions. EC cards generally have a card limit that restricts the amount you can withdraw or spend per day. This limit can vary by bank and card type. If you have an EC card equipped with a chip, you can use it at ATMs and in shops that accept this type of card. A chip card offers additional protection against fraud because it is harder to duplicate than a magnetic-stripe card. [Unattached fragment in the original: “… can be used online”.] 5.
