Just the ATM card[ Parent ] (none / 0) (#6)

Sorry, that should have been "Is KeyBank...". But I do agree with you on the debit card issue. If your debit card security is compromised (stolen, whetever), you can kiss your bank account balance goodbye. I have never understood why people use debit cards. You have no protection as you do with a credit card. I know it's easier than writing a check, but for me the convenience doesn't outweigh the risk. I know why the banks promote them. It's cheaper for them.

(I don't write checks, either. I use credit cards, PAY THEM OFF EVERY MONTH [that's essential], and collect the rebates they offer. If I can't pay it at the end of the month, I don't buy it at the beginning of the month.)
