Frequently Asked Questions About Debit Cards:
Q: What is a VISA check card and how does it work?
A: The VISA check card works like all other VISA payment cards, except that it is linked directly to your checking account. It can be used everywhere VISA cards are accepted – including purchases on the Internet – and it is safer than using cash and more convenient than using checks.
Q: What is the difference between a credit card and a debit card?
A: At the point-of-sale, all VISA payment cards work in the same manner, whether in the physical world or on the Internet. Purchases made with a VISA check card are deducted directly from your checking account rather than accessing a line of credit. Together, VISA credit and check cards provide cardholders with a well-rounded payment portfolio, worldwide acceptance and greater product utility over cash and checks.
Q: I’ve heard some consumer groups say that it’s too easy for a thief to clean out a cardholder’s checking account if they get hold of a debit card. Do debit cards put the consumer at risk?
A: Not if you use the VISA debit card. All VISA credit and check cardholders are protected against unauthorized transactions like theft and fraud. Accordingly, VISA check cardholders are protected by VISA's Zero Liability policy, which surpasses protections mandated by federal law. Quite simply, VISA check cardholders are liable for $0 of unauthorized transactions. In the event that unauthorized use depletes a cardholder’s checking account, VISA member financial institutions are committed to providing provisional credit within five business days of cardholder notification.
Of course, VISA's sophisticated fraud-protection systems are quite effective in preventing fraud in the first place, and, as a result of our efforts, fraud accounts for a mere 7 cents per one hundred dollars transacted.
Q: Am I still charged $50 when unauthorized transactions like fraud occur if I don’t report the loss or theft of my card within 48 hours?
A: No. In 2000, VISA enhanced the Zero Liability policy, holding consumers liable for $0 in most circumstances of fraud. Consumers will pay nothing. VISA's enhanced policy protects consumers from the unauthorized use of their credit or check cards for all purchases made on the VISA system, including those transacted on the Internet.
