How to get a visa debit card?

The Yu-cho Check card is no longer available, and existing cards will end at the end of December 2007.

Which one do I get?

Are they expensive monthly? I really need one just for Mobile Suica.

That ridiculous, there has to be something to take its place. Whats the deal with leaving the users stranded?

Luckily found someone who knows where did you can get real VISA DEBIT CARD! At last, now I can use it in here like normal Visa card!

Hage, what did you find out? I've been looking everywhere for a debit card. Did you really find one that functions like one?

I always though the J-debit card that AK mentioned in 2005 was Japan's version of the debit card.

I've never actually seen a Visa Debit card as I knew them in Australia.

J-Debit is incorporated into many regular bank cards, though most people don't know about it, and not many stores accept it, of all the convenience stores, only Lawson accepts it, though it is good at Yodobashi Camera and some other major places, not many people know about it, and it's still not good for online purchases etc. A Visa card tied to a debit account can be used anywhere Visa is accepted. J-debit on the otherhand isn't accepted everywhere.

thanks for help

I got my Visa Debit card from e-bank.

Unfortunately, the english site has limited services. You are only able to apply for the card on the Japanese site. You might need someone who knows Japanese to help you through the process.

"A VISA debit/cash card, �geBANK Money Card�h allows the users to make payment at 27 million VISA member stores in the world (2 million stores in Japan) that display the VISA logo without having to find an ATM to make withdrawals. A confirmation of use is delivered to the user via e-mail upon withdrawal of money, which enables early detection of fraudulent use"

English site shows you can.

Use the contact on that site. You can apply for it in english with an english speaker but you must request.
