Debit card transactions have become very popular, with two types: PIN (online) and signature (offline). Both deduct funds from the customer’s checking account. For in-person businesses, accepting both types is beneficial. In a PIN debit transaction, the customer chooses “Debit,” enters their PIN at the POS terminal, and the payment is processed instantly through the electronic funds transfer network.
Fast settlement of funds
Reduced chargebacks
Increased security with PIN debit rather than signature debit transactions
