FirstCaribbean Visa Debit Card is Here

[Skele Drew]

Sounds great! But I just opened an account here . Maybe next time FCB...

This is good news. Going to look into it some more. If this works out I'm getting rid of my credit card. Credit card interest rates will rape you mercilessly.

stop carrying balances and they can't "rape" you.

any update on this?

anybody used it online yet..im really considering taking one out..reading the FAQ's has basically sold me

especially want to know if you can use it on newegg because i know they require billing and shipping address to be the same..

hope other banks think about doing this

Other banks will be coming on-stream with this maybe next year.

I think the info was that FCIB going need JMD$5,000 or USD$100 to open an account in local or US, then you apply for the card which entails two reference letters and some other info, then you get in and use it. Rep told me that it works with anything and anywhere that takes Visa so that's good. Most places take both Visa and MasterCard so that's fine - and she said people use it with PayPal which is good for I.

If u opening a regular chequing account with FCI a minimum of $2000 is necessary, but if it's a salaries account such as 1 the your employer would deposit your salaries to, then no money is necessary to open the account, just go with the required papers
