Debitbetalingkanalen
Debitbetalingkanalen refers to the channel or method through which a debit card transaction is processed. When a consumer uses a debit card to make a purchase, their bank's debit network and the payment processor work together to facilitate the transfer of funds from the consumer's account to the merchant's account. This process typically involves several steps, including authorization, clearing, and settlement. Authorization confirms that sufficient funds are available and the card is valid. Clearing involves the exchange of transaction details between the banks. Settlement is the final transfer of money. The debitbetalingkanalen can include various networks such as Visa Debit, Maestro, or specific bank-owned networks. The speed and security of the transaction depend on the efficiency and infrastructure of the chosen debitbetalingkanalen. Fees associated with these channels are usually borne by the merchant.
