It's a debit card that works through the Visa
network as a credit card.
You've lost me... what's the point of that? Why
not just have a debit card?
i also have an Electron _debit_ (not credit) card. my understanding is that it's
basically identical to Switch debit, or Visa debit, except that it's available
to accounts without an overdraft. i.e., if you make a purchase on an Electron
card, if there aren't enough funds in the account to cover it, the transaction
will be denied; unlike Switch, where the transaction will go through
immediately, but the account might not have enough funds to cover it.
i can't imagine how this is relevant to WMUK, though! (perhaps if we want to
issue company credit/debit cards for incidental expenses...)
