A debit card number is a 14 to 16-digit number printed on your debit card. It carries your bank account
and personal details. You can use it to withdraw funds from ATMs, pay through POS (Point of Sale) machines, and carry out online transactions. Generally, the debit card number is embossed on the debit card in four groups of four digits that help uniquely identify a specific debit card.
