why debit cards do not enjoy the same protections against theft and fraud as credit cards?

2.21K viewsEconomicsOther

Those protections are the main reason it’s recommend to use credit cards instead.

But it doesn’t make sense to me, why would I borrow money (credit) if I had it (debit)?

My guess is that banks deliberately do this so people can accidentally spend more money than they have and companies start charging interest.

Because youre using your money with debit cards and thats hard to get back where as credit is just a promise to pay so even if they cancel the fraudulent charges you still pay back the legit ones, in a nutshell
