Free Savings Analysis
Debit card transactions have become overwhelmingly popular in the past few years.
There are two types of debit transactions, PIN (online) and signature (offline).
Both deduct funds from the consumer’s checking account. It is beneficial for
businesses who see customers in person to accept both debit types, whereas businesses
who do not see their customers should accept signature debit. The more payment
options businesses provide their customers, the better.
PIN Debit
With PIN debit, the customer selects "Debit" as the payment method and
then after the card is swiped must enter their Personal Identification Number (PIN)
into an encrypted pin pad at the point-of-sale (POS) terminal to authenticate their
identity. The transaction is transmitted through the electronic funds transfer
network and the funds are deducted from the consumer's checking account within
seconds.
Benefits:
- Fast settlement of funds
- Reduced chargebacks
- Increased security with PIN debit rather than signature debit transactions
- Less expensive for merchants than signature debit (generally)
- More secure and fewer fraud losses as compared to signature debit transactions
Signature Debit
With signature debit, the customer selects "Credit" as a payment method
because the transaction is transmitted through the Visa or MasterCard networks and
provides a signature after the transaction goes through. The funds are then
deducted from the consumer's checking account. The only authentication
is if the consumer is asked for picture ID. Signature debit is sometimes less
expensive to consumers than PIN debit, as some banks charge users for PIN based
purchases.
Benefits:
- Ability to make debit purchases over the Internet, phone, by mail or at the POS
- Fast settlement of funds - the same as credit cards
