I get separate statements for the checking account & debit card. On the checking account, it just notes that money was transferred to the debit card. It's the debit card statement that says to whom I paid.
In addition, sometimes the checking statment notes a *single *transfer to the debit card that actually corresponds to *multiple *transactions on the debit card statement. I live in Israel. Maybe debit cards work a bit differently in other countries. _______________________________________________________________ Howard (Haim) Roman -- haim.ro...@gmail.com -- 052-8-592-599 -- חיים רומן LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/haimroman On Wed, Aug 28, 2019 at 12:28 PM Colin Law <clan...@gmail.com> wrote: > Is your debit card account a separate account at the bank, or is the > card just a way of taking money out of the chequeing acct? > > Colin > > On Wed, 28 Aug 2019 at 09:58, Haim Roman <haim.ro...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > Hi.
