The credit/debit card transaction system is antiquated, expensive, and inefficient. There are over nine steps to complete a transaction from the time a customer swipes their card to payment processing, settlement, and when the merchant finally gets paid. Every step along the way costs both the consumer and the vendor in additional fees.

The Big Dream of any entrepreneur really has very little to do with the entrepreneur. If you truly love repairing automobiles, chances are, you'll be a lousy business owner. Likewise, if you are fascinated by debits and credits, the dream of building an accounting firm with you at the helm is probably best left unfulfilled.

American Writer

Jeffrey Kluger

Credit or debit cards, for starters, are nothing short of shoppers' Novocain. Even in the age of digital purchases and virtual money, we still attach a special value to dirty paper with pictures of presidents on it. Handing some of that to a cashier simply hurts more than handing over a little sliver of plastic.

Dave Ramsey

If you're doing something like scheduling utility payments to come through your debit card or out of your personal checking account, that's perfectly fine. But there are much safer ways to handle situations with debt collectors. You can send a money order overnight, or wire the cash to them.

American Speaker

Peter Welch

Swipe fees have increased steadily since the introduction of debit cards 20 years ago, when there were no swipe fees at all. Merchants can't negotiate or control them. They've tried, but they have no leverage against the big banks and issuers. So they get ignored.

American Politician

Shane Filan

I'm more of a debit card person, and I live in the 'now'. I don't like credit cards anymore. I try to live with whatever I can afford and don't try to put myself in an awkward position. I've done that before.

I don't use a debit card. The safest thing is a credit card because you're using the bank's money. If someone accesses your information, they are stealing the bank's money, not yours.

I love, love, love that you want to use your debit card. But to keep your credit score solid, you still need to keep a few credit cards and use them at least once every few months.

American Author

Sean Pertwee

I try to use my debit card rather than a credit card, but I will use a credit card for big purchases because I bank with Coutts and I get points.

Never call an accountant a credit to his profession; a good accountant is a debit to his profession.

British Lawyer

In everyday language, 'debit' refers to a type of bank card used for transactions.

Payment Method

'Debit' differs from 'credit' because it uses available funds, not borrowed money.

Not Credit

A 'debit' transaction immediately decreases your bank balance.

Immediate Effect

In accounting, 'debit' increases asset or expense accounts, and decreases liability or equity.

Accounting Term

'Debit' entries typically appear on the left side of a balance sheet in double-entry bookkeeping.

Balance Sheet

Understanding 'debit' in accounting often requires contrasting it with 'credit'.

Contrast With Credit

When a bank 'debits' your account, it means money is taken out.

Bank Action

Some bills are paid automatically by 'debiting' your account each month.
