These cards are issued by a specific bank and they store the information about your funds in that bank's account. Despite the card and the account being connected to a certain bank, it's common that other banks offer services which let you access your funds for some fee.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://i.colnect.net/b/1045/377/Belarusbank.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="418" data-original-width="667" height="250" src="https://i.colnect.net/b/1045/377/Belarusbank.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://colnect.com/bank_cards/bank_card/5739-Belarusbank-Belarusbank-Belarus" target="_blank">Bank Card : Debit Card,&nbsp; Belarusbank,&nbsp;Belarus, Colnect Catalog</a></span></div> <br /> Bank cards differ by <a href="https://colnect.com/bank_cards/types" target="_blank">type</a>. Most common one on Colnect is a <a href="https://colnect.com/bank_cards/list/type/2-Debit_Card" target="_blank">debit card</a>. Second most spread type is a <a href="http://colnect.com/bank_cards/list/type/1-Credit_Card_-_Regular" target="_blank">credit card</a>. Difference between these two is that when using a debit card, money comes from the bank account, while credit card functions as the way of taking a credit from the bank quickly.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://i.colnect.net/b/4290/248/Amex-de-Naranja.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="498" data-original-width="800" height="248" src="https://i.colnect.net/b/4290/248/Amex-de-Naranja.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://colnect.com/bank_cards/bank_card/30734-Amex_de_Naranja-Banco_Galicia-Argentina" target="_blank">Bank Card : Credit Card - Regular, Amex de Naranja,&nbsp;Argentina, Colnect Catalog</a></span></div> <br /> Probably most of you have also noticed that many cards have their own unique design.

He first appeared on television, in popular British comedy series called Not the Nine O’Clock News. From there on his journey continued, which led to the creation of his most successful character Mr. Bean. This character ended up finding its way into the hearts of millions all around the world and led to Atkinson being called "the man with the rubber face".</div> <div> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://i.colnect.net/b/3951/067/PolyGram-Video---Schon-gesehen---quot-Mr-Bean-quot-.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="158" data-original-width="252" height="250" src="https://i.colnect.net/b/3951/067/PolyGram-Video---Schon-gesehen---quot-Mr-Bean-quot-.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://colnect.com/phonecards/phonecard/317774-PolyGram_Video_-_Schon_gesehen_Mr_Bean-Dutch_German_Cooperative_Cards_CXD-KPN_-_Chip_Cards_LG_Cards-Netherlands" target="_blank">Phonecard, PolyGram Video - Schon gesehen?

He has a small flat in Highbury, North London. He's practically always seen in his trademark tweed jacket, white shirt, and skinny red tie. Mr. Bean infrequently speaks, and when he does, it's commonly only several murmured words.<br /> <br /> Mr. Bean oftentimes seems uninformed of basic aspects of the way the world works. The humor mostly comes from his unique (and often absurd) answers to problems and his total disregard for others when resolving them.<br /> <div> <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;helvetica neue&quot; , &quot;helvetica&quot; , &quot;arial&quot; , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://i.colnect.net/b/4066/944/Rowan-Atkinson.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="605" data-original-width="342" height="400" src="https://i.colnect.net/b/4066/944/Rowan-Atkinson.jpg" width="225" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://colnect.com/sugar_packets/sugar_packet/60871-Rowan_Atkinson-Drawings-Spain" target="_blank">Sugar Packet, Rowan Atkinson, Spain, Colnect Catalog</a></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> Colnect has been built by collectors for collectors.
