Different kind of Visa cards available

Visa debit, Visa credit, and gift cards and prepaid are all payment cards that are engraved with the Visa name and that are available for private use. You can read more about each type below:

Visa Debit

Visa debit cards allow customers to access their everyday banking accounts, such as checking and savings accounts. They can be used to make purchases at stores or to complete ordinary bank transactions at a branch or at an ATM, just like credit cards. Cardholders must use a personal identification number to complete transactions (PIN).

On the front of a Visa debit card, the user's name and 16-digit account number are printed, as with an expiration date and a CW number. The 16-digit number, however, is not the same as the deposit account number.

Visa Credit

Financial institutions give Visa credit cards to consumers based on their credit reports who are deemed creditworthy. Visa credit cards offer convenience and security to cardholders and can be used at retailers and automated teller machines (ATMs) worldwide.

Visa cards may offer a variety of benefits, such as 0% introductory annual percentage rates (APRs) and cashback rewards. In addition, extra bonuses when shopping with a specific retailer. Traditional Visa cards provide limited services and provide cardholders with fewer benefits. Signature Visa cards provide greater incentives and privileges, whereas Visa Infinite cards provide the most creditworthy customers with premium services and benefits.

On the front of a Visa card, the account number and cardholder's name are embossed or printed. On the back of the card, there's also a three-digit validation code. This code adds another layer of security for the cardholder.

Visa Prepaid

Prepaid cards aren't linked to a bank account or a credit card. These cards are pre-loaded with a set amount of money that serves as a credit limit.

This means that the cardholder isn't permitted to spend more than the amount loaded onto the card. These cards are accepted wherever Visa is accepted and, in some situations, can be reloaded for future use.

Visa Giftcard

Gift cards, like prepaid cards, are preloaded with a specified amount. They're valid anywhere Visa is accepted. Some gift cards are only valid at a single merchant. Gift cards, in general, cannot be refilled once they've been depleted. They have a unique PIN number on the back.
