Some Europeans refer to girocards as "debit cards" and everything else incorrectly as "credit cards"

Some Europeans meaning people in Germany? Most people have debit cards from our normal banks here, credit cards are generally associated with companies like Revolut or Klarna, as they push ads for getting credit cards.

I guess, I haven't really kept track, but I've observed this many times from different people.

That's surprising. Revolut only offers credit cards in a couple of countries, and has only done so for a rather short period of time.

Maybe it was remember I was thinking of, there's a few that push credit card with ads
