Debit card, no credit card at all

No or low annual fee: Strong. The CFPB states that with a debit card you are spending money you already have in your account, generally cannot spend more than the account holds, and unless you overdraw the account you do not need to repay money or pay fees, unlike a credit card where you are borrowing and must repay by the due date or face a late fee and interest charges. source↗ 2026
