Debit and Prepaid Card Payments {#payments-debit-prepaid-intro}
===============================================================

Debit cards are linked to a cardholder's checking account. The funds are taken out of the customer's bank account, and the transaction is included on the customer's bank account statement. The customer does not receive a credit card bill as with a regular credit card.  
You can process debit cards using these services:

* Credit card services
* PIN debit services
* Partial authorizations, which are a special feature available for debit cards
* Balance inquiries, which are a special feature available for debit cards
