Why are banks insistant that they will issue you with a visa debit card (Even when you say you dont want one)?
I recently opened an account with a bank (which as least stringent free fees criteria- hint hint).
I told them I didnt want a visa debit card, ticked the box for no card, yet the person opening the acount told me that i would get one anyways. I wouldnt be charged the govt fee so long as i didnt use it as a visa debit card!
I personally dont believe this, but anyways, my question is why do they insist on providing them when people dont want them?
Do they get a fee off visa every time they issue one (Even if its never used)?
