I'm pretty sure credit card and debit card have the same meaning throghout the English speaking world.
Credit card: You make the purchase on credit (i.e. you temporarily borrow the money from the credit card company to make the purchase)
Debit Card: The money is directly debited from (taken out of) your bank account.
Is this not the case? (I'm British, BTW and this is how we use the terms)
