I've had plain ATM cards too. You get funny looks when you ask for one, and they usually have to mail it. It isn't a VISA or Mastercard. The card numbers aren't long enough. You can still use it for PIN debit transactions but not as a credit card. Get one and try charging something with it, it won't work.
