tarjeta de débito

[anthony]

Is this the right way to say debit card? I just need to confirm it. Also I want to make sure it takes an accent.

Thx.

[sosia]

tarjeta de débito: debit card
tarjeta de crédito: credit card.

greetings Anthony

From RAE:
débito. (Del lat. debĭtum, part. pas. de debēre, deber).
1. m. deuda.
2. m. débito conyugal.

how does one ask if an establishment takes debit or credit?

Would you ask, "Acepta débito o crédito?"

The word mano in spanish carries the female gender. For that reason
el mano is incorrect. La mano is one of the exceptions. El problema
is another example in which the ending vowel of the noun doesn't match
its gender. Asi es.

I understand that. Thats why I also said that I have masculine hands. It's a joke. (Obviously not a very good one! LOL!)

Hypnotik, Usually I don't ask this kind of things.
The normal question is "¿Aceptan tarjetas?" or "¿Aceptan tarjetas de crédito?"
Nobody cares if it's really a credit or a debit card, they only care for the money
