An atm card is a debit card. If it s a branded atm with the visa or MC
logo, then can be used as a credit card, without the cc protections.

An ATM card is an ATM card.
A debit card is a debit card. It will work at ATM machines.
A credit card is a credit card.

You can read about the difference if you like.
It's all over the internet.

My ATM card has only the Chase logo on the front.
It says ATM on the front in big letters.
The back has the Cirrus and Infolink logos.
It will NOT work without the PIN.
Some places other than ATM's MAY accept payment from an ATM card.
I never tried it with my Chase ATM card. I only use that for ATM's.
Many places only require debit card users to sign their receipt, not
enter the PIN. A reader with a "Credit" button won't require a PIN if
the "Credit" button is pushed. But it still is a debit to your bank
account.
Anyway, Chase does issue an ATM card. I have it. They also issue a
debit card with a Visa logo. I threw that away after they said they'd
send me the ATM card.

The ATM card with a pin is a debit card. If it does not have visa/MC logo
it is a PIN number only card. Can not be used as a signature card.
