I’m not sure about relative fraud numbers, but the fraud refund differences are real. With a credit card they will refund you basically no matter what. With a debit card it’s much more hit or miss - I recently had 3 fraudulent transactions on my debit card for about $100 each and they refunded only one of them.
That’s crazy if you think about it - you give your card around to many people and any of them can write it down and use it.
In the US the only sensible thing to do is to use your credit card for everything and keep your savings tucked in an account which doesn’t have a card at all, nor a checking account tied to it. Then maybe a small checking account at some other bank for rare times you need cash.
