debit card · Different wording
Different wording The two terms share 卡 in their simplified forms but are different words. In Taiwan the standard term is 簽帳金融卡; on the Mainland it is 借记卡 - both point at “debit card”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 簽帳金融卡、借記卡 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.
Pair source: the OpenCC cross-strait conversion table, which maps each Mainland term to the form used in Taiwan.
