debit card/Switch card
In the UK debit cards (an integrated EFTPOS system) are an established part of the retail market and are widely accepted both by bricks and mortar stores and by internet stores. The term EFTPOS is not used at all by the public, debit card (or Switch card, even when referring to a Solo card) is the generic term used.

: All debit cards are just that - debit cards. Switch Card is a brand.

Thanks. 'Debit card' is the correct translation, but apparently many people refer to a debit card as a "switch card" even when using a different debit card (see reference).
