The latest major data breach highlights the risk of using debit cards to pay at the pump.
Another week, another data breach. The latest happened at Hy-Vee, an Iowa-based chain of gas pumps, coffee shops and restaurants operating throughout the Midwest.
In the GasBuddy study, respondents said the main reason they use debit cards at the pump is that it's so darn easy. Debit cards have no interest rates or fees. When you use your debit card, you’re authorizing your bank to give you immediate access the money in your account. You swipe your card, type in your PIN and the funds shoot out of your account immediately, like electronic cash.
. Your personal liability for fraudulent charges on a credit card can't exceed $50. But if a thief uses your debit card number, you could be liable for $500 or more, depending on how quickly you report it.If you like the idea of paying with debit rather than credit, the smart move is to load your debit card on a mobile payment platform such as Apple Pay, Google Pay or Android Pay — and then use that digital wallet to pay for your gas.
