Talk:Debit card
|
|
Visa has something called a "check card", is this the same thing as a secured credit card? it's tied to a chequing account and any purchase is treated as a withdrawal from that account
No, with secured credit cards money deposited must remain untouched. It acts as collateral and defines your credit limit.
The Visa check card is a debit card. They named it a check card to make it sound original and stir up additional interest.
How long has a debit card been around for, when were they first introduced?
