Debit Products and Services
Visa debit cards are safer than carrying cash, more convenient than writing checks and provide cardholder benefits that cash and checks don’t offer. Visa debit cards allow consumers to pay directly from funds in a checking or bank deposit account (current account) for goods and services – from monthly bills or online purchases to groceries or gas – at millions of merchant locations worldwide. Transactions are automatically deducted from a bank or checking account and typically posted within 36 hours of purchase, helping cardholders track and manage expenses, all with the same protections that consumers enjoy on Visa credit cards. Visa debit cards offer security protections that help prevent, detect and resolve fraud, including continuous fraud monitoring and coverage by Visa’s Zero Liability1 policy, which protects cardholders from unauthorized charges.
Visa is committed to financial literacy and the responsible, informed use of electronic payments. For more information on using credit, debit and prepaid cards, as well as financial education tools and tips, visit www.practicalmoneyskills.com.
