Well, here people are worried about identity theft. (I.e., the ability to
illegally withdraw money without your permission.) I understand that in some
countries the onus is on you to prove the withdraw was illegal.
I.e., in the USA, with a credit card, you have the choice of not paying the
bill until the bank proves you really authorized that transfer. With a debit
card, the money is gone and spent, and it's up to the individual to prove to
the bank that the transfer was *not* authorized, which is a much harder
thing to do, of course. (Hence why I don't own a debit card. :-)
My info may be either out of date or restricted to a small subset of
countries in Europe, or both.
