Morphology
The meaning 'a card issued by a bank for payments or cash withdrawal' is directly and compositionally derived from 'bank' (financial institution) + 'card' (small payment/ID item). This simple noun–noun compound follows common cross-linguistic patterns (e.g., Spanish 'tarjeta bancaria', French 'carte bancaire') and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
Bank card comes from a simple picture: a small plastic card from your bank that acts like a key to your money. That's why bank card means 'a card you use to pay or get cash'.
