    How does a DIGITAL DEBIT card Work… Technologically to:
    1. With draw cash from any ATM ? – It cannot be inserted into an ATM for Reading.
    2. On a PoS or Micro ATM ?- It cannot be Swiped.
    3. Make payments online ?

    Digibank is the winner obviously here and they do provide virtual card also. Unlike other stupid banks they are not robbing customers with unusual charges. All they are expecting is deposits from customers which is enough to do business. Other worthless banks must learn at least few things from this bank. I have closed my 8 bank accounts now i am using my salary account and Digi that’t it(shifting my salary every month to this account). No tension of stupid charges from those moron banks who wants to rob savings customers to cover there NPAs. Kudos to Digi bank. Thanks a lot.

    Virtual debit card comes with Digibank e-wallet. This is digiSavings (which comes with the banking services at par with other Payments Banks). It provides a physical debit card only.
