There's a card in most wallets that people reach for out of habit, and it might be the one leaving them most exposed. In this episode of SipCyber, Jen Lotze stops by In the Loop Coffee in Minneapolis's North Loop neighborhood to break down something she's heard land again and again in rooms full of professionals: the real difference between using a debit card and a credit card.
They look the same, sit next to each other in your wallet, and tap the same way at checkout, but behind the scenes they work very differently when fraud hits. Jen unpacks why that distinction matters more than most people realize, especially with money that's already spoken for.
Key Topics Covered:
This isn't about giving up convenience. It's about knowing which card to reach for so a stolen number doesn't turn into a scramble to cover rent, payroll, or groceries while the bank investigates.
