Visa recently announced that its debit card transactions now exceed Visa credit card transactions in the U.S. There were 3.04 billion Visa check card transactions in the first two quarters of 2002, compared with 2.96 billion credit card transactions, despite the fact that the number of credit cards exceeds the number of debit cards in circulation. Meanwhile, MasterCard's signature-based debit volume rose 22% during the first half of the year.
