I've never had a debit card. Every time I've opened a bank account, I've asked for a plain ATM card with no Visa or MasterCard logo instead. It's safer because there's a mandatory PIN and an enforced daily withdrawal limit.
- tylerritchie 14y agoA plain ATM carc might be very difficult to use to get money from your account in developing economies. We had issues with our MasterCard debit cards in Nicaragua. "Visa, accepted everywhere," I always thought, "Yeah, and everywhere Visa is accepted so is MasterCard." Apparently, that is not the case. Just FYI, if you're traveling to a developing nation, make sure that your ATM/debit card will work to extract cash from your account.
