    I doubt a debit card is included.
Is it possible to get a bank account now without a debit card? ATM card only must be incredibly rare. Plus, the bank makes more money on debit card purchases than cash (that was withdrawn from ATM).

Absolutely. I have one myself.

I have the had the account for nearly 30 years and maybe I should completely close it. But for "historic reasons" some senders know only that account and some direct debit is still active there. But I have cancelled my cards a decade ago when I intended to close the account.
