Which one of the following statement is incorrect?

ATMs are part of virtual banking
A smart card is also known as Integrated Circuit Card (ICC)
Credit card is a way to 'pay now', a debit card is a way to 'pay later'
Debit cards are known as check cards

The correct answer is: A. ATMs are part of virtual banking.

ATMs are not part of virtual banking. Virtual banking is a type of banking that allows customers to access their accounts and perform transactions online or over the phone. ATMs are physical machines that allow customers to withdraw cash and perform other transactions without having to go to a bank branch.

Here is a brief explanation of each option:

  • A smart card is also known as Integrated Circuit Card (ICC). A smart card is a plastic card embedded with an integrated circuit chip. The chip can store data and perform calculations. Smart cards are used for a variety of purposes, including access control, payment, and identification.
  • Credit card is a way to ‘pay now’, a debit card is a way to ‘pay later’. A credit card is a payment card that allows the cardholder to borrow funds from the card issuer to pay for goods and services. The cardholder is then required to repay the loan, plus interest, to the card issuer. A debit card is a payment card that is linked to the cardholder’s bank account. When the cardholder uses a debit card to make a purchase, the funds are deducted directly from the cardholder’s bank account.
  • Debit cards are known as check cards. Debit cards are not known as check cards. Check cards are a type of payment card that allows the cardholder to withdraw cash or make purchases by writing a check on the card. Debit cards, on the other hand, are linked to the cardholder’s bank account and allow the cardholder to make purchases by electronically deducting the funds from the account.
