Random Rambling: Checking Account Direct Debit

Peter Cooper Jr.

I very rarely use cash. Basically, all of my at-a-store purchases are done with my debit card, and all of my recurring expenses are done through direct debit from my checking account. (Side note: it’s called a checking account, but very few transactions in it involve checks.) I feel very secure with my debit card. In person I need to either sign something or use my PIN, and remotely I use my CVV2 value. In case of a card compromise, it’d be very easy to just disable that card and give me a new one.
