agree  Pia Walker: Is Dankort not more like a credit card now a days - in which case you might consider putting a bracketed explanation beside it (chip and pin card) - which is all the rage over here in UK at present - where we at present are implementing this system

Bank Card


Explanation:
If you want the English name of the same card. Although Dankort can only be used in Denmark and possibly EU. It's not a visa, master or credit card and you can normally only take money out of your existing account with a Dankort. Charge Card also sounds ok, although I haven't ever heard anyone say I'll use my Charge Card. They often say I'll use my Bank Card.

Switch card


Explanation:
Along the line of what has been said above. This is the standard UK type of debit card, so perhaps you could write something like "Dankort (equivalent to Switch card)".

Debit card


Explanation:
or more precisely, Danish debit card.
