    You can use your debit card as credit - using the same number. When you are making a payment online just mark the Visa in your case and enter the number. You may also be asked for a security number that is found on the reverse of your card. This is a 3 digit number that is separated and is the last in a series on the back of all cards.

    Please remember that using a debit card as credit only means a difference to the merchant and your account will be debited immediately just as if you were using debit. It is not Truly a "credit card." just a method to pay. Most debit cards now either carry the visa or mastercard logo for customer convenience and the merchant will have fees for accepting the card as credit. Most have no problem with this. The bank name will not be relative when using the card as credit.
