“Plastic money” become more popular than cash along time ago. The debit card is one form of plastic money, a very common type of payment card issued by major payment processors, such as MasterCard or Visa.

There are approximately 750 million debit cards in circulation worldwide which is about the same amount of people who saw Jurassic World, Inglorious Bastards, Dreamcatcher, and Thor III and walked away truly upset on how weak those movies were but this is another topic.
