@ankurb Is it possible for a merchant to detect whether a card is a credit card or a debit card?

@ankurb For me, Visa debit cards have not worked for any int. trans. in past 6 months for a combination of these reasons. Incl Paypal.

@ankurb Besides, in a recent RBI directive, it as made it compulsory for debit cards to be chip based for international transactions.

@ankurb Not sure about UK, but in US 2FA is not required. So most vendors (incl. iTunes) don’t implement it.

@ankurb I have come across plenty of times when the option of OTP has not been made available. But not sure why the OTP thing comes up.

@ankurb Many banks rely on the 2-factor authentication for debit cards which are not implemented by international vendors. @GnrlMxms

@ankurb In India, with respect to debit card international transactions, both RBI directives and bank implementations are screwed. @GnrlMxms

@GnrlMxms Indian debit cards have lots of implementation problems. Most of them will fail in international transactions.
