To use your debit card as credit instead of entering your PIN, simply select the "credit" option at the point of sale terminal when making a purchase. This will allow you to complete the transaction without entering your PIN and the funds will be deducted from your checking account.

Can you use a debit card as a credit card?

Yes. You can use your debit card as a credit card. When you run it as a credit you will almost always have to sign for your purchase, but when you run it as a debit you use your PIN number. With the debit the amount is deducted immediately from your bank balance, ran as a credit it doesn't show up until the next business day or two later. It doesn't have anything to do with 'your credit'. Just another way merchants can run your card. Usually how to run it as credit is on the pad where you swiped your card instead of entering your pin you hit cancel and that will run your card as credit. It still isn't necessarily a credit card as you cant accrue debt on a debit card.

Can you use a debit card as a credit card without your pin?

Only if it is a "check card." Debit cards require a PIN number, but many banks have switched to check cards that can be used as either a debit or credit card. To find out for sure, next time you use your card, hit the "credit button." If it's a check card it will ask you to sign instead of entering your PIN. The check/debit card must have a Visa, Mastercard or a Discover symbol to work as a Credit purchase but still comes out of your checking account. Discover is just starting up there debit card network.

In accounts payable, when a purchase is made, the invoice is recorded as a debit to the appropriate expense or asset account and a credit to the accounts payable liability account. The invoice itself does not become a debit memo; instead, it serves as the basis for the credit to the vendor's ledger when payment is made. A debit memo is typically used to adjust or reduce the amount owed to a vendor.
