I was led to believe banking in the US was somewhat archaic

We have had Visa Debit cards for at the least 10 years. Almost all banking can be done online now a days. The only people that still send out checks are those who don't think online banking is safe.

Nah, they're not a UK only thing. I live in the US and I have a visa debit card, so does everyone I know...it just comes standard when you open an account.

Fair enough. Though on closer inspection that does little to help Hunter as the FW website says it only takes debt cards from UK customers, everyone abroad has to sue credit cards.

At least a decade?
I thought nothing about it, to be fair the relevance of banking in the US to me has been little beyond you ****ing the worlds economy with your subprime lending, and our banking muppets buying the bad debt from you.
As I said "I'd been led to believe" and until someone pointed out otherwise here there was no reason for me to change those beliefs as I hadn't come into contact with a reason to...

Psychosplodge I apologize for coming off a little strong mouthed, been having a bad day. But yeah I agree with you on the fact that the US economy is retarded and has affected the world economy in the wrong way. I try not to buy anything unless I can pay for it in cash. I use debit/credit for purchases I can't physically take with me never spending more than I have. I've often used the pre-paid cards to purchase online in an effort to curb frivolous spending. If only there were more US politicians who thought this way we wouldn't be where we are today.

No worries, I maybe reacted rather quickly
It's definitely a good philosophy. Everybody would probably be better off if they all excised restraint...

I agree wholeheartedly, now we just need to drill the philosophy into Obama and Romney's heads.

And our useless lot as well...

Although a debit card isn't a credit card, you can use it as a credit card...or atleast use the debit card to make a credit purchase. I did this the last time i ordered form forgeworld, when I bought my two autocannons for my gk dreadnought I treated my debit card as a credit card, no hassles from it.

Can you not order and pay for it in your local GW store?

While plenty of irresponsible lending went on during the subprime mortgage crisis, much of it was initiated and encouraged by the Clinton White House, and no one makes a borrower take a loan they're not sure they can afford. For every "irresponsible" loan that was given, there was at least one irresponsible borrower attached to it.

Please, lets not completely remove any accountability from the folks that decided to become house poor and couldn't make their payments when rates adjusted.

And yes, I've had a debit card for all of my adult life, so at least 10 years. I don't quite get why you'd have though banking in the US was archaic?
