Every card must be connected to a **MonetaryAccount**, since that’s where the money comes from (and goes to). A single monetary account can be linked to multiple cards, but each card can only have **one primary account**. If there aren't enough funds in the primary account, bunq will check the **secondary account** (if set). If both are empty, the transaction will fail. Cards also play a key role in **2-factor authentication**, using the user’s PIN to authorize payments. These card payments are stored as regular `Payment` records and can be viewed via:\ `GET /user/{userId}/monetary-account/{monetaryAccountId}/payment` Want to see card-specific transaction details? You’ll need to query the `MasterCardAction` endpoint:\ `GET /user/{userId}/monetary-account/{monetaryAccountId}/mastercard-action` ## Example ```json { "Response": [ { "CardDebit": { "id": 475280, "created": "2025-07-21 09:21:53.715669", "updated": "2025-07-21 09:21:53.715669", "public_uuid": "c82f6de1-ff18-4f98-944e-d83e31b08c1f", "first_line": "", "second_line": "", "expiry_date": "2029-08-31", "status": "DEACTIVATED", "sub_status": "NONE", "order_status": "NEW_CARD_REQUEST_RECEIVED", "type": "MASTERCARD", "sub_type": "NONE", "product_type": "MASTERCARD_DEBIT", "product_sub_type": "NONE", "user_id": 2040503, "user_owner_id": 2040503, "user_holder_id": 2040503, "name_on_card": "A.
