Actually Debit cards are seem like credit cards. There are 5 steps how to make a purchase by using a debit card.
- Insert your debit card through the machine. Then follow the available instructions. But if there isn't available instructions, give your debit card to cashier. Tell them it's a debit, not a credit card.
- Select "Debit" or "Debit Card" as the payment option.
- Enter your four digit PIN (Personal Identification Number) into the machine. Press the "Enter" or "Ok" key.
- Select the amount of cash you want back. Cash back will give you additional cash along with your purchase. Most machines ask if you wish to receive $20, $40, $60 or "other". This amount will then be deducted from your bank account, along with the purchase amount. If you wish to decline, press the "No" option.
- Wait for the approval notice. The machine will then state whether your purchase has been approved or declined.
