[edit] Delete Visa Debit, then move Visa Delta to Visa Debit
Since the name of the card has effectively been renamed and there has been no significant editing of the new article (Visa Debit) then I would suggest that the correct action would be to move, ie, rename, Visa Delta to be Visa Debit, whereapon it will automatically get a redirect from the old name. For this to work the new (3 day old) Visa Debit article should be deleted, then the move can be done. Oosoom Talk to me
[edit] Visa Debit in Other Countries
Despite what this article states, Visa Debit is available in other counties outside of the UK. I know for certain it's available in at least Australia and I suspect it would be available in many other counties worldwide. The article should be updated to refect this, by someone with more information about which countries it is available in.
- Are you sure that it is the same card? I have a Swedish VISA card that is a debit card, but it doesn't have any VISA Debit logo. Is a non-UK debit card of VISA brand with no VISA Debit logo the same thing as the UK VISA Debit card? (218.228.195.44 07:04, 29 October 2006 (UTC))
- Good questions. The main distinction between a Visa debit card and a Visa card that isn't a debit card is whether a retailer's terminal recognises it. All Visa debit cards (leaving Visa Electron out of it for the moment) will (or should) work anywhere that Visa is accepted. Visa debit cards may offer additional options if the card terminal recognises the Bank Identification Number as being a Visa debit number, for example cashback, and indeed the difference between being accepted or not (at stores like Aldi).
- From the retailer's side, a successful read as Visa Debit gives rise to a small fixed charge as opposed to a percentage of the sale being taken as the interchange fee.
- In summary, a Visa Debit card is, strictly, a Visa card with the word Debit (or foreign equivalent) printed on it, but it may or may not be processed as such. Stifle (talk) 10:10, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- Visa Debit is right now replacing old national debit cards all over Europe because of the Single Euro Payments Area which requires Europe-wide cards. Globalize template added. Here's an example of Finnish Visa Debit card 88.192.219.31 (talk) 00:06, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Article title
The article title is "Visa Debit", and it says that Visa Debit is a UK-only debit card issued by Visa. However, the Japanese debit cards issued by Visa are also called Visa Debit (ＶＩＳＡデビット). According to the article text, a UK-issued "Visa Debit" card would thus be different from a Japanese-issued "Visa Debit" card, so I suppose that different articles should be created: "Visa Debit (U.K.)", "Visa Debit (Japan)" and possibly other ones.

- I've moved the article back from Visa Debit (United Kingdom) as the disambig page that was here linked only to one page. If you or someone else wants to create a section on Visa debit cards in other countries (a separate article is possible but not really necessary) feel free.
