Debit Cards at Wascana

September 30, 2008

Comment: Debit cards could be used!

We have explored using debit cards in the past and concluded that we do not have enough transactions to warrant a debit card system. Using a debit card machine demands considerable cost and staff time to implement, however, it has been awhile since we have looked into this and it might be time to re-visit this option if enough library clients would like to see it.

Debit Cards at Wascana

June 21, 2008

Comment: The Library should accept debit cards because the min. you can take out of the ATM is $20.

We have explored this in the past and have concluded that we do not have enough transactions to warrant a debit card system.  It does demand considerable cost and staff time to implement.  Then again, that was a couple years ago and it will be soon time to re-visit this option if enough library clients would like to see it.
