If i make an online transaction with a debit card, what information will show on my statement?

Say I was buying flowers with a personal debit card, would a name such as "Rosie's flowers" in any way show up anywhere...either to my bank or on an account summary statement?





i know if i wrote a check, all i would get would be the used checks and the numbers would appear with the payment amount on the statement...i dont know how that's different with online transfers.

If i make an online transaction with a debit card, what information will show on my statement?
If you don't want to leave a 'trail' use cash or check then! The short answer to your question is YES there is always something showing up on your statement...it depends on what the 'business' calls itself to the bank....It may be a florist called Rosie's from Interflora which may show as Rosie's Florist or Interflora.....it totally depends on what the company wants to be known as on transactions and what the Bank abreviates their name to.....





Having bought many things online with credit cards there is always some reference back to that transaction.
Reply:the best thing to do is to buy those new visa gift certificate cards, that way when you buy por.. I mean flowers it won't show up on your account.
Reply:debit or credit cards will show up with the company/shop name. these can vary depending on the details they set up when setting up their merchant details. usually it's very similar or exactly the company name.


some companies have discreet names if for example they are related to adult entertainment or lingerie etc etc.





but if you are concerned about someone seeing i suggest cash or cheque
Reply:You used your card for a dirty website and now everyone will know what you do...
