said by Crashrun2003:Merchants have to have the TD Visa Debit card added? That explains why most places dont take it as a Visa. Seems silly to me. Should either work as a Visa normally does, or not at all.
I fully agree.
The onus should NOT be on each merchant to call their PoS provider and ask to add it.
But MY experience shows that it IS that way, and START's above example bears this out.
AND, as I posted above somewhere, the bank (and all of their allegedly 'valued' customers) must give up Interac Online (a Canadian company) functionality in order to include VISA Debit (and just GUESS where VISA is based ?) functionality.
WE, the customers were NOT asked nor consulted by the banks about what we though about the idea of them making this change.
Typical - THEY know what's best for US !
