Credit card alternatives.

billy98111

This is kind of a follow-up to Tazz360's post about how to stop using a credit card. I currently have services for my work that require online credit card payments because there is no other way you can pay. I used to have a Paypal credit card that took straight out of my Paypal account which was handy but they no longer have that in my country and I have a Visa/Debit card but NOBODY seems to take those type of cards. I don't know why my bank even has them. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

May help to know which country we are talking about.

I am surprised that you have issues with Visa Debit, as long as it is an offline card then it is almost identical to a Visa Credit.

Mastercard do a Debit version but I suspect you will have similar problems to Visa Debit.

If you want to avoid credit cards and debit cards dont work for you then the only remaining option is chargecards. AmEx is the most famous of them but certainly some banks offer Visa on a chargecard basis (and I believe it uses the Visa Credit system rather than Debit but wouldnt want to be quoted).

Other than that, evidently some countries/ regions have other networks that arent present in the UK and you may want to look at them

As above what country do you live in.....

Visa is the most widely taken card payment service in the world.
