A Note about Check Cards
Back in the early days of debit cards in the early 1990's, Visa pioneered the term Check Card for its debit card product.
More recently, it's been emphasizing Visa Debit as the product's name - transitioning away from the original Check Card branding.
Ironically, today's Wall St. Journal had a headline that read "Wal-Mart to Pay Via Check Cards". No, not via Visa Check Cards - but, rather, MasterCard Debit Cards.
