Let me ask the question another way: Which do you think offers greater risk - the financial tool that has a direct link to your accounts that contain your money or the financial tool that does not have a direct link to your accounts that contain your money?
Exactly..my client had her debit card compromised when she swiped at Lowes by the time she got home her accounts were cleaned out still in limbo 10 days later as they investigate.
@@amireallythatgrumpy6508 Okay. Let's say the fraudster wipes out your checking account, $1500 rent is due tomorrow, you have $1000 in your emergency fund, you had just got paid and won't see another paycheck for two weeks, and the bank tells you it may take up to ten days for them to put the money back into your account. Tell me again how irrelevant the question is?
Banks take too long to refund the money back into the account. It is not "likity-split" for many of us. At least that has been my experience. They have to "investigate" Meanwhile your checking account is out of that money.
You need a new bank. I've had three different banks over the years for various reasons (personal, business, etc). And every single one refunded the money immediately.
If you can be defrauded by such a large amount to the point where you may have financial problems. You need to add a daily spending limit to your card so the thieves can only take a certain amount.
I work for a CU and I see it daily. For many fraud transactions, financials will not refund you if they feel you were negligent. Although I don’t like CCs, they are better for protection as a consumer.
@@Redbeth4 For me, it was at a gas station that I always used. So they wouldn't believe me for a few days as the charge happened at the same place and they figured I was either mistaken or lying. I raised so much heck that they finally gave in.
This is tied for worst advice Dave gives. Fraud on your CC doesn't cause you to wake up to negative balance in your bank account, bounced checks, inability to pay the mortgage and utilities, etc. Yes, you're going to get it back eventually, but the mortgage lender doesn't really care why your payment didn't clear in the meantime.
If your financial situation is impacted that severely from fraud on your card, you aren't handling your finances as well as they could be. However, I realize your argument is simply an extreme example to try to justify your position on CC vs debit.
@AllynHin Depends on the dollar amount of the fraud. We're not talking about a movie and dinner. The big irony to me is that Dave always emphasizes "Do not give debt collectors access to your bank account" but then turns around and advocates goving access to your bank account to the internet. Smfh.
Some banks won't give you your money back right away. Some bank wait until they finish investigating it. You money is gone right away. On a CC, it isn't. Because it is not your money. On a debit, it is not zero after a certain time period.
I didn't even watch the video but with debit you also have a certain amount of time to make a claim. Miss that time window and you're out of your money
Then get a new bank. I've had three different banks over the years (personal, business, etc). And every single time, the money was immediately put back in my account, then they investigated the fraud. But I've never had to wait for the money to be reimbursed.
This is the big reason I use a CC... I use it just as if it was a debit card and I don't have to worry about my checking account being drained if somebody gets my information.
I dont have to worry either and I dont have a CC lol you shouldnt be STUPID enough to use a debit card online etc that is attached to your checking account lol lol.
I understand them defending debit cards. However, i'm in the CC camp. I use my CC as a debit card and pay it off at the end of the month. Have done so for several years. Our card has been compromised several times. Not once has it affected my checking account. Dave's take on CC use is from a debt free perspective. I get it. The way I use my card is just different. Pretty sure my debit cards aren't even active anymore.
@@amireallythatgrumpy6508 Except that YOUR $$ in YOUR checking account hasn't been TOUCHED, and is still there for you to use while the bank "investigates". THAT is a pretty huge benefit, in my book!
@@jasonrodgers9063 Not true at all. It is not there fore you to use while the bank investigates because THEY WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO USE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What I do 1st debit card where you hold your main funds. Never connected or used for payments. (only holding) 2nd Where you pay bills. I prefer not to auto pay. (Only bills) 3rd Gas and Grocery (only) 4th Extra for Fun and Misc. (connect at risk but limited funds if hacked) These layers keep my main funds safe and compartmentalize any risk.
23 years old paid car with cash and am almost finished paying for college by working full time to pay as I go and help with parents as well. Feels great to be debt free and ready to start the next chapter of my life once I graduate this may. Thank you Dave for teaching me to live debt free and within my means.
@@amireallythatgrumpy6508 Why would they do that? Surely they would just cancel and reissue a new card? I expect they would do the same if you were using a debit card... Difference being your money is still in your account.
Dave was burned by credit cards so he is emotionally against them. His reasoning against credit cards doesn’t make sense and/or is just plain wrong. Credit cards are like fire, use them right, they help you out, use them wrong, you get burned.
Just yesterday somebody used my debit card from another state. $100 worth of pizza. I canceled my debit card and the bank is going to send me another one, but I’ll be locking that card and use my cc always from now on.
I'm with you on using cc's going forward (as long as you pay it off each month, of course). But I would think twice about "locking" your debit card because that's what's typically used to get a cash w/d from an ATM. As much as I'm in the "use cc but pay it off every month" camp, it's a good idea to have some cash around.
@@binfordtoolman5674 Yea paying it off every month is a no brainer, plus I’ll get 1.5% back. And I can unlock my debit card at any time so that won’t be a problem.
@@minkekj As long as the customer reports the loss or theft in a timely manner, their maximum liability for purchases made after the card disappeared is $50. The Electronic Fund Transfer Act gives debit card customers the same protection from loss or theft-but ONLY if the customer reports it within 48 hours of discovery. After 48 hours, the card user’s liability rises to $500; after 60 days, there is no limit.
I disagree about paying for everything with credit card. I do this with many bills and pay it off every 2 weeks. Have used this method for almost 5 years, never been charged a dime in interest, and seeing as it is a cash back card, I get annually between 800-1000$ back in CASH. So this method does make sense if you are disciplined.
Well, hang on. That’s right, but if you waiting around for the bank to sort out the error I would rather they do it on a credit card that isn’t my money than a bank account where it is. Just feels a greater incentive to fix an issue when it’s not your money.
I have heard if you pay at the pump with a debit card, it can place a sizable hold on your funds for a period of time. But if you go inside the gas station it doesn't place a hold on your account. My question is, why is this?
The issue is when the fraudulent charge is pending. I've had funds in my account frozen because of fraudulent pending charges since they couldn't flag them until the charges posted.
The difference is the 1-2 percent you get on every purchase. Ex: Your light bill is 200. Paying with debit is dumb compared to a cc because of the cash back. This is an expense that has to be paid one way or the other. Why not get some money back for paying the bill. You only get into trouble when you start making frivolous purchases.
@@MikeThePike316 Not often, ALWAYS. It's only a question of whether they tell you about it in advance, or simply bake it into the cost of what they're charging you and count on you not to notice.
True and your money for most is much, much more inconvenient. The other pain is just waiting on a new card. And if you have more than one card, you can use the other.
Maybe it is equal protections under law, but in real life who you think will put the same priority on resolving the fraud with someone else's money vs their money? That is what a debit card is, NOT the bank's money. The law says to stop at a red light too but does that help in a hospital? Same idea.
@@RobVI Yes, but based on experience you may have to wait since it isn't realistically a priority for the bank. It isn't their money so one day or a week, they still followed the letter of the law but the customer gets to suffer without access to their funds in the meantime. No debit cards now.
Jade sucks. ‘Your password sucks that’s why you were stolen from.’ Pretty sure there are thousands of scams out there defrauding people of their money. Don’t be so quick to blame people, sis.
I would state that it is per bank on getting money back from fraud. You will get it back, but it will take a while longer to get back funds from debit. She either a.) lied or b.) had this experience and lucked out because she had a responsive bank.
suggestion ... if you are going to be out of state or out of the country for a certain period of time , notify your bank so they don't flag your account if you make a purchase during that time
Using a pin you are usually responsible for first $50 to $100. Skimming and cloning is very common these days even with PIN numbers. If you get a fraudulent charge with that amount with the pin used you get ZERO back. I’ve been at places where running a debit as a credit was not an option.
Put everything that is normal spending and necessary on a credit card, then pay it off at the end of the month, that way you get 5% of your money back. If you pay with debit card you get zero percent of your money back.
But if a company that you made a credit card purpose goes bankrupt like a budget airline then the bank takes the loss not the consumer. If you make the flight ticket payment on your debit card you’re screwed. Dave will never mention this benefit of a credit card. Google if you don’t believe. And I guess Dave reply would be if you have to use a credit card to buy flight tickets you can’t afford the flight, that’s Bs. I use the credit card for this protection alone.
This is one of the few times when I will also disagree with Dave Ramsey. Fighting to get the money. Place back on your card versus fighting to have the money placed back into your account is just a completely different story
How can a debit card have only a flat 7 cent merchant fee (according to one article) and still afford to have the same fraud protection as a credit card, which generally charges 2.3% + 10 cents?
The dude or dudette needs to re-install their operating system their computer or do a factory reset on their phone tablet. - Probably best to do both Android (Linux) can be a carrier that infects computers using Windows.
First hand experience no. When I had fraud with a debit card I called my bank the next day the money was back in my account. I’m from the uk but love the show ❤
Check with your bank. My banks offer 'Travel' notification in which I can tell them ahead of time where I'll be traveling so they don't flag my transactions from those places.
Which is better? Simple, Debit b/c your not charged interest. This person's issue isn't fraud protection it sounds like someone gained access to the account the card tied to. Which could have happened via malware or data leaks.
This happened to my dad not that long ago. Once he realized what had happened, he called the CC company and they closed that card and issued him a new one.
Great tip for protecting your info: A sheet of tinfoil in your wallet. This shields any tap-to-pay cards you have from being covertly scanned from your purse or pocket by someone with a mobile scanner in a bag. Yes, it means you have to physically take your card out for purchases, but it's safer.
@@tduck828 Yep, same principle. Another way is to just keep multiple RFID cards in your wallet, since scanners can't de-tangle multiple signals, it just reads like digital gibberish.
Jade reminds me of one of those girls that likes to talk so much they enjoy the sound of their own voice. She constantly cuts off the other personalities like a know-it-all and just can't shut up for two seconds.
People in these comments who have to make snide remarks about how they can't stand a particular Ramsey personality's demeanor, dress, etc. remind me of people who don't have a life because they are chronically addicted to their stupid phone. It would be a better world if these people found a more constructive hobby, or took a nice, long walk or just simply went away because these comments have nothing to do with the subject of the video.
She needs to close the accounts and start another account due to fraud. Talk to the bank about their fraud policies and what protection they offer when theft happens. I start paying with checks more on your bills the less you use your debt card the better because theft is going to get really bad as we get into the Summer months.

A extra $1000 a year is nice...all while living below my means. Money for nothing.
The dude or dudette needs to re-install their operating system their computer or do a factory reset on their phone tablet. - Probably best to do both Android (Linux) can be a carrier that infects computers using Windows.
First hand experience no. When I had fraud with a debit card I called my bank the next day the money was back in my account. I’m from the uk but love the show ❤
If it's a large amount and they clean your account out I Guarantee you you will not get your moneyback the next day.
@@5trace that is why you set a maximum daily limit.
Check with your bank. My banks offer 'Travel' notification in which I can tell them ahead of time where I'll be traveling so they don't flag my transactions from those places.
Which is better? Simple, Debit b/c your not charged interest. This person's issue isn't fraud protection it sounds like someone gained access to the account the card tied to. Which could have happened via malware or data leaks.
Yes
Casey when are you gonna make more vids bro. Your content is solid.
Neither offer ANY protection.
@@amireallythatgrumpy6508 Neither have your parents. 💣

This happened to my dad not that long ago. Once he realized what had happened, he called the CC company and they closed that card and issued him a new one.
Great tip for protecting your info: A sheet of tinfoil in your wallet. This shields any tap-to-pay cards you have from being covertly scanned from your purse or pocket by someone with a mobile scanner in a bag. Yes, it means you have to physically take your card out for purchases, but it's safer.
I bought rfid blocking cards from Amazon and keep in my wallet. So far so good!
@@tduck828 Yep, same principle. Another way is to just keep multiple RFID cards in your wallet, since scanners can't de-tangle multiple signals, it just reads like digital gibberish.
I do this, and it gets me laid.
I'm wearing a tin foil hat right now!!!
I just use an RFID wallet.

These people need to watch show before asking questions because they are blindly asking the personalities these questions with obvious answers
Jade reminds me of one of those girls that likes to talk so much they enjoy the sound of their own voice. She constantly cuts off the other personalities like a know-it-all and just can't shut up for two seconds.
The show needed someone like her.
Dave does the same thing.
People in these comments who have to make snide remarks about how they can't stand a particular Ramsey personality's demeanor, dress, etc. remind me of people who don't have a life because they are chronically addicted to their stupid phone.
It would be a better world if these people found a more constructive hobby, or took a nice, long walk or just simply went away because these comments have nothing to do with the subject of the video.
Dave has a Ramsey Gazelle Debit card. They called him and asked him what he is doing in Cabo??? I guess Christian's do lie😏😇😩
She needs to close the accounts and start another account due to fraud. Talk to the bank about their fraud policies and what protection they offer when theft happens. I start paying with checks more on your bills the less you use your debt card the better because theft is going to get really bad as we get into the Summer months.
يزم علي الطلاق انك توب جي وكاشف كل الأكاذيب 🤣👌👌
Dave a hillbilly? LOL!
