Europe
In the European Union, prior to October 2004, the debit card was known as Visa Delta. The cards are issued by numerous large banks, and also used by many smaller banks and building societies. The card can be used just like a Visa credit card. Retailers in some countries can however accept the card as a debit card rather than a normal Visa card.
