Be very careful when it comes to visa debit cards, sounds more secure but look
closer. If someone makes fraudulant charges on your regular charge card, you
are only responsible for very little if any of the amount, you dispute the
charge and the credit card company deals with the loss and no money leaves
your hands. However if it is a visa check card or "fake" visa card, even
though the bank still accepts responsibility the money in that account is
gone, and may take up to 6 weeks to be replaced. If you do choose this method
open a new account and keep the minimum amounts neccessary to conduct business.
