Can someone pls explain what is a visa debit card is?????
I have a maestro card and a visa card(and mastercard) thus now in the process of getting a visa debit card from a&l premier account..... Does this work the same as the maestro card??? Taking funds direct from account, NOT a credit card. Thus why call it a visa debit card?????

Many many many many thanks..... P.s If you have never listened to the chris moyles show on radio1 do!!! its starts your day well....

Very similar to a Maestro/Switch card. I have one from the A&L Premier Account, and it works in pretty much the same way. Cash comes from funds in your account, not like a credit card.

Used to be called Visa Delta, if that helps your understanding at all.

Yes, a VISA debit is similar to a Maestro card, taking funds direct from your current account. Hubbie has one from his building society account.
