How to Make Your Credit Card Act Like a Debit Card

"Here’s how Debitize works: First, customers need both a checking account and a credit card. Then, they register online for Debitize and link both the bank account and the card to the tool. (As with many digital financial tools, users must share personal and account information with the service; Debitize says it uses bank-level security and doesn’t store account login credentials on its servers)."

"Debitize then tracks credit card spending and pulls cash from your checking account when you make purchases using the credit card. The money is held in a separate Debitize account (an F.D.I.C.-insured account at a bank that works with Debitize), and the tool pays the credit card bill automatically when it’s due."
