The Co-op Debit card can be used for online purchases and one gets automated SMS notifications after every transaction. If a transaction is denied call the Card Centre on 020 277 6000
Claire,I use Co-op Visa Debit to make purchases. I've used Equity one too. I experienced what Kiti mentioned with Co-op and I called them. It's working fine now.As for withdrawing money from Paypal to a bank account, that is not possible in Kenya yet, as far as I know. It is in some countries but Kenya is not one of them. But all is not lost (being dissed by Paypal). There can be a way around with Moneybookers or 2Checkout.--

it seems like these banks keep on dishing out services and them
withdrawing them without notice):
1. Can the Equity bank Debit card/ATM card be used for online purchases?
2. Can the Co-op bank Debit card/ATM card be used for online purchases?
I use my Co-op debit card all the time.About a month ago they "upgraded" the system, which resulted in all cards being denied. You may need to call the card centre for them to "enable: your card if you are still experiencing problems.
3. Which of the above (Equity & Coop) allow transfer of funds frompaypal to bank account?
Please answer the above if you are currently doing it and don't give
us third party gossip!
The last time someone on this list told us that KCB debit/ATM cards
can be used for internet purchases, I went and opened an account and
was later told that the service had been disabled (please note that I
am not talking about their prepaid cards, but the kawaida debit cards
that have the Visa logo).
So please think very hard before you answer the above.
Claire.
