Ehhh, no?
Our debit cards are used for in-store payments, and literally every single bank allows you to use them for online payments too. We just developed systems which don't depend on handing random people a bunch of "secret" numbers and hoping they don't defraud you.
For example, in The Netherlands *everyone* uses iDeal. Basically, the store does a 302 redirect on checkout to your bank, sending along the money owed and the destination account. The bank authenticates the user, confirms that they indeed want to pay it, and redirects back to the store. It... just works!
- moffkalast 4y ago> literally every single bank allows you to use them for online payments too Please tell me how the hell I should input a 19 digit debit maestro card into 16 digit credit card number slots. It even has letters. > iDeal Seems like it's only a Dutch thing according to the wiki.
- anticensor 4y agoIf you want e-commerce use then get a regular Mastercard Debit. Maestro cards require physical presence of the card and electronic interaction between the card and the POS.
- Tijdreiziger 4y agoiDEAL is from the Netherlands, but of course many countries have similar systems (Belgium: Bancontact, Germany: SOFORT, Poland: BLIK, Sweden: Swish, India: UPI, China: AliPay/WeChat Pay, etc., etc.)
