One can't purchase an item that costs more than the balance in a debit card. The debit card is equivalent to cash on hand. You can only spend what you have.
The credit card is equivalent to a loan. You don't have the money as of the moment but when you use the credit card, you owe the issuing bank the amount you've put on credit. The bank will pay the merchant and you will pay the bank. Interest is an additional expense when you pay your bill beyond the due date. The interest is applied on the amount outstanding upon the payment due date. </span>
