Which of the following is NOT a purpose of Access Cards?

Access cards are primarily designed for facilitating transactions related to accounts, such as cash withdrawals, ATM deposits, and account transfers. Each of these functions utilizes the card to access bank accounts directly at ATMs or over the banking network.

Cash withdrawals are straightforward; access cards enable cardholders to withdraw cash from their accounts using automated teller machines. Similarly, ATM deposits allow users to deposit cash or checks directly into their accounts through the machine. Account transfers can also be conducted using access cards that interface with financial systems allowing users to move funds between accounts.

Online shopping transactions, however, typically require payment methods that are coded to support digital transactions, such as credit and debit cards or payment applications, rather than access cards intended for ATM and account-related functions. While some access cards may be linked to accounts used for online transactions, the primary purpose of access cards does not include online shopping, which is more aligned with broader payment card functionalities.
