Japan

In Japan people usually use their cash cards , originally intended only for use with cash machines, as debit cards. The debit functionality of these cards is usually referred to as J-Debit  and only cash cards from certain banks can be used. A cash card has the same size as a VISA/MasterCard. As identification, the user will have to enter his or her four-digit PIN when paying. J-Debit was started in Japan on March 6, 2000.
Suruga Bank began service of Japan's first Visa Debit in 2006. Ebank will start service of Visa Debit by the end of 2007.
