Dangers of Debit
Binyamin Appelbaum reports for the Charlotte Observer on the important difference and associated implications between debit cards and credit cards when it comes to so-called zero liability policies: "When someone steals a credit card, they are spending the bank's money. When someone steals a debit card, they are spending your money."
In a similar article titled "Popular debit cards carry significant security risks", Frank Norton writes for the Raleigh News & Observer about debit cards having "weaker federal protections against fraud, merchant blunder and billing disputes than credit cards."
