Best Answer

The most serious negative of having a debit card is that if there is an incorrect charge, the bank has your money and they will keep it until and unless you figure out how to make them give it back. If you have a credit card, you keep your money, and they have to figure out a way to make you pay. I can't think of any positives, unless you mean from the perspective of the bank, in which case see the above. Banks spend tons of money trying to convince you to use a debit card. There's a reason for that.

Debit Card vs Credit Card


How can you buy passes on howrse with PayPal without having to link a debit card?

On paypal, you need to have money onto the account. It is taking it out of your account which is linked to a debit card. I don't think you can. However, you can earn diamonds in free offers. 10 diamonds = a pass. There are also things like Zeevex and Paysafecard where you can buy the card and use it without having to own a credit/debit card.

What is the difference between a debit card and a credit card?

A debit card takes money directly from your account. A credit card takes the money from the credit card company, and the credit card company will bill you in monthly installments until you pay them back (plus interest). A debit card is like paying in cash, without actually having the cash on you. A credit card is similar to taking a small loan.

Can a loan be put on a Visa debit card even not having a checking account?

First of all, you cannot get a VISA debit card without having a checking (Or savings) account. A debit card does not exist stand-alone without a linked bank account. So, if your VISA debit card is linked to your bank account, then you can use it to pay for a loan. For a loan provider, the type of bank account you have does not really matter. All that matters is whether you'll repay the loan.
