"This is financial adviser Patrick Munro, discussing what are no fee debit cards. Individuals now and days are looking for ease and convenience in the market place, both as a purchaser and as a business. Therefore debit cards have been invented for just that reason, checks are quickly becoming part of the dinosaur age. A debit card is used at the time of purchase, given to the vendor or business, and it's given just like a check would be, for the payment of the services or goods. Once it's put into a data terminal, the money is taken directly out of the borrowers account and the purchaser is completely taken care of in that regard, much like a credit card would be. But there is no fee for the service because there was no interest charge, the money comes directly out of the account. This is Patrick Munro talking about the benefits of debit cards."
