A debit card (also known as a bank card or check card) is a plastic payment card that can be used instead of cash when making purchases.

It is similar to a credit card, but unlike a credit card, the money comes directly from the user's bank account when performing a transaction.

To invest is to allocate money (or sometimes another resource, such as time) in the expectation of some benefit in the future.

A bank is a financial institution that accepts deposits from the public and creates credit.

Lending activities can be performed either directly or indirectly through capital markets.

Due to their importance in the financial stability of a country, banks are highly regulated in most countries.

Most nations have institutionalized a system known as fractional reserve banking under which banks hold liquid assets equal to only a portion of their current liabilities.

In addition to other regulations intended to ensure liquidity, banks are generally subject to minimum capital requirements based on an international set of capital standards, known as the Basel Accords.

The stock (also capital stock) of a corporation is constituted of the equity stock of its owners.

A single share of the stock represents fractional ownership of the corporation in proportion to the total number of shares.

In liquidation, the stock represents the residual assets of the company that would be due to stockholders after discharge of all senior claims such as secured and unsecured debt.

Stockholders' equity cannot be withdrawn from the company in a way that is intended to be detrimental to the company's creditors.

In finance, a futures contract (more colloquially, futures) is a standardized forward contract which can be easily traded between parties other than the two initial parties to the contract.

The parties initially agree to buy and sell an asset for a price agreed upon today (the forward price), with delivery and payment occurring at a future point, the delivery date.

Because it is a function of an underlying asset, a futures contract is a derivative product.
