Swedish term or phrase: bankkort
Hejsan alla:

We now have 3 different cards:
kreditkort = credit card (minimum amount can be paid and balance can accrue over time, e.g. Visa)
betalkort = charge card? (like a credit card but with no credit, i.e. balance MUST be paid each month, e.g. Amex)
bankkort = debit card? (the money is automatically withdrawn from your bank account at the moment of purchase.)

Bäste David,

Adendum:

Jag klagar inte på din översättning, men på din definition. Ett betalkort kan vara, men behöver inte vara, ett kreditkort.
