Talk:Visa Electron

message: I see this mentioned a few times and I'd just like to say that it's simply not true. It is true that it's much harder for the cards to be overdrawn compared to regular Visa cards but I work at a bank where we sell a type of Visa Electron card and we have specifically been told to never guarantee that the card cannot be overdrawn as it has been known happen in certain circumstances. Therefore I think it's wrong to use such strong wording, as it gives a false sense of safety.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.247.11.120 (talk) 14:11, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Visa's use at non-ATM opens a huge yawning gap in its secured use. In brief, customers aren't expected to punch in the PIN at any merchant, nor is the merchant asked to verify the signature. Here are some reports on a blog about this issue:

message: Barclays does not issue full Visa Debit cards, branded by Barclays as "Barclays Connect" or "Connect card", to account holders under 18. Barclays does issue the Visa Electron to such customers, and the branding is now the same as the standard Barclays connect card.
However, they still function as Electron cards, and feature embossed numbering. Barclays product holdings on internal systems differentiate between the two as "Connect card" and "Connect (Electronic)". 
Electron continues to be issued to individuals with poor financial performance and those under 18.
All Barclays full Connect Cards also act as cheque guarantee cards for either £50, £100 or £250 (for selected customers). As such, these cards are credit scored and thus not issued to the under 18 market or to those with poor credit scores.
This provides an easy way to differentiate between the newer cards which share the same branding. If the card does not feature a cheque guarantee notice in the lower right hand corner of the reverse of the card, then the card is an Electron.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.71.10.28 (talk) 16:43, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The card is marked with "VISA" (not "Visa Electron"), yet it says in the text that it's online-only.  Is Visa Electron Visa's only online-only card, and if so, why does it say "VISA" and not "Visa Electron" on the card? (Stefan2 18:48, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Visa Electron is a debit card, while the Visa online-only cards use the Visa credit card system (thus the Visa label).  Also, I think we need to clearify this "Accept All Cards" thing with Australia.  When I was last in Australia (August 2008), I could not use my Visa Electron card anywhere.  And I haven't heard about any change of policy since then.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.65.197.74 (talk) 17:27, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

message: I used a Visa Electron "Credit Card" issued by Sampath Bank Sri Lanka in 2004. It is like any other credit card but could not be used for offline transactions. It did not have the card number and name embossed so it does not make an imprint in the manual/off line transaction machines. I have used it in the United States with no issue. The bank replaced it with a Classic Visa credit card in 2006 and no longer issue them.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vipulasrilanka (talk • contribs) 01:33, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

message: In Egypt, Visa Electron (or indeed any debit card) is only authorized to be used as ATM or physical merchant debiting card. i.e. they're not online enabled by default. Only a credit card (and online payment-enabled one, nonetheless) can be used for purchases on the internet, which is very difficult and expensive to issue to the average consumer --Abderrahman (talk) 19:49, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
