What is the difference between a bank card and a social security card?

The difference between the two is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1, the account function is different.

Bank card (debit card) as a financial payment and settlement medium, itself only pure financial accounts, belong to a single account card; while the social security card belongs to the composite account card, the medium not only has a financial account, but also social security account.

Finally embodied in the function, the bank card can only handle financial services, while the social security card in addition to financial services, there are social security registration, pension, payment, query social security information and medical insurance reimbursement costs and other functions.

2. The application procedures are different.

The bank card can be applied directly to the bank branch, the card on the spot, activated and can be used normally; while the social security card needs to print the social security information to the social security agency, and then to the bank to apply for the last social security agency to make the card, generally can not get the card on the spot, the card needs to be activated by myself to be able to use normally.

3, the cost concessions are different.

Bank cards generally have a card cost and annual fee, the average daily deposit is less than a certain amount of small account management fees; and now the social security card is still in the promotional period, not only free of cost and annual fee, but also no small account management fees. But the loss fee social security card is generally higher than than the bank card, because the cost of social security card to be higher.

Expanded Information

The function of the social security card covers all the functions of the bank card, but also increases the social security function, which increases the convenience of the cardholder, but also more affordable.

In fact, the social security card is also a kind of bank card, but the bank card can not be called a social security card, because the social security card it covers another account is the account of our medical card, so that the medical card account is not the bank card.

Of course, an ordinary social security card can be used as a bank card, because there is a class of bank account in the social security card, so this class of bank account is actually a full financial bank account.
