Key Difference from Credit

Funds debit directly from your linked bank account—no credit line, no interest (unless overdraft). Some merchants (car rentals, hotels) may place holds; some countries prefer local debit networks (e.g., Girocard in Germany, CB in France), but Visa Debit is widely co-badged.
