Europe
In the European Union, prior to October 2004, the debit card was known as Visa Delta. The cards are issued by numerous large banks, and also used by many smaller banks and building societies. The card can be used just like a Visa credit card. Retailers in some countries can however accept the card as a debit card rather than a normal Visa card.

Famous quotes containing the word europe:
“What helps it now, that Byron bore,
With haughty scorn which mock’d the smart,
Through Europe to the Aetolian shore
The pageant of his bleeding heart?
That thousands counted every groan,
And Europe made his woe her own?”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
“It is not unkind to say, from the standpoint of scenery alone, that if many, and indeed most, of our American national parks were to be set down on the continent of Europe thousands of Americans would journey all the way across the ocean in order to see their beauties.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“In Europe art has to a large degree taken the place of religion. In America it seems rather to be science.”
