writes Because I'm not convinced that accepting a debit card which passes the C&P PIN, but is later declined because of lack of funds, is at the retailer's risk. My debit card has a hologram on the back with an amount on it which the bank will honour, funds or no. -- Clive |

Mon, 19 Mar 2012, Peter Masson remarked: My debit card has a hologram on the back with an amount on it which the bank will honour, funds or no. That's from the time when debit cards doubled as cheque guarantee cards - before the cheque guarantee scheme was abolished. And the amount was relevant to the cheque guarantee, not its use as debit card. -- Roland Perry |

As different shops have different "floor limits" this can only apply to the amount of guarantee by the bank, otherwise all cards would need to be authorised. -- Clive |

The figure printed on the card is only relevant when used as a cheque guarantee card (RIP). -- Roland Perry |
