# Debit Card Tokenization Element

The Debit Card Tokenization Element provides a secure, embeddable form for collecting debit
card information. It is an alternative to the [Cards API](/products/rest/reference/card-tokenization/creategenericcardtoken).
Like the Cards API, the Tokenization Element may be used to process card data for
use when creating a [card account](/products/rest/reference/accounts/createaccount) for a user. The component handles all user input, validation, and securely transmits card data to a DailyPay backend service, which performs the actual tokenization with the payment gateway. Only the resulting token and non-sensitive metadata are returned to the host. No sensitive card data is ever exposed to or stored by the host application.
