Why can't we buy online from a debit card instead of a credit card?
-
I don't have a credit card but I have a debit card. I was wondering why do we have to have a credit card to buy online if we have a debit card? Why can't we use a debit card for online shopping? What's the reason behind it?

Answer:
You CAN use a debit card online as long as it has a Visa or MC logo on it.

You can use it to purchase on-line if it is a "branded" debit card. In other words, it must have the Visa or Mastercard or Discover logo on the card, even though it's not a credit card. Then you can use it combined with the verification 3-digit number on the back to buy stuff anywhere credit cards are accepted. I do it all the time.

The debit card requires your signature. Can't do that on line.
