Can my daughter use my debit card?

Stuck in bed with bastard Covid (having avoided it all the way through Angry) and my daughter is going on a trip with a group she attends. I have no cash in the house to give her - she doesn't need much, just lunch/ice cream/souvenir money. Can I just give her my debit card to use? There's no special bank rules I might be unaware of, are there?

@merryhouse I don't know. My husband uses mine all the time and vice-versa. Just one of those 'very surprised to discover other people don't do this' things!

'Maybe many if us trust our partners / kids so we don't see it as a big deal , especially as now we don't even have to give them the pin half the time'

Yes and newer debit cards don't even have numbers on them

The new cards do have the number on them, in teeny tiny print on the back, near you signature strip.
which I still sign as it might just stop someone from taking all my money, if I lose my card and before I can get to my tech to put a stop to it.
