Some Starbucks locations continue to have trouble accepting the new Visa Debit cards issued by Canadian banks. This sign was in an Eglnton Ave. W. Starbucks on Sunday (May 26, 2013) where the staff said they are having the most difficulty with the TD Visa Debit. The move by the banks to collaborate with Visa against their own Interac system has caused much confusion and in some areas more than a little resentment. In the early going, it was found that transactions were being settled over the Visa system rather than Interac, costing merchants more to process them. Many are concerned that this is the beginning of the end for Interac, regardless of what the banks claim. It is the most efficient and inexpensive debit system in operation in North America. And incidentally, is that a credit card or a debit card you have there?
