Giving credit to GetDebit
A relatively new site called GetDebit provides information about “non-credit” card products.
In the US, debit cards that are linked to a bank account, and prepaid cards that are not, get both categorized as “debit” products and have that word printed on the front of the card. So, GetDebit actually deals with both debit cards and prepaid cards. (In Europe, prepaid cards do not have the word “debit” printed on them, and have other differences like not being necessarily embossed).
GetDebit stands out in its editorial approach: they do write articles about specific products and services without seeking advertising dollars from the companies behind them. This is worth noting in a world where infomercials are almost impossible to distinguish from genuine articles.
Granted, their business model is indeed to advertise products and place the highest bidders at the top of the pages, but they also mention products and do in-depth analysis without asking for ad dollars.
Evidently, we are praising them because they wrote a piece about the API that our company, Plastyc, released last week. And we have never paid them any advertising dollars.
