If you withdraw money using a Fidelity debit card (without Financial Choice), from a brokerage account without any cash in it, that withdraw will create a margin loan that you have to manually pay back and that you also have to pay interest on.

If you withdraw money using a Financial Choice debit card, that withdraw will automatically trigger a sale of your stock in the appropriate amount, so that you won't be building up margin loans.
