How to Check a MasterCard Debit Balance

MasterCard debit cards are very convenient and can be issued by financial institutions as a way to provide customers access to a checking account, savings account or money market account. You can also get a MasterCard debit card in the form of a prepaid gift card. They're even used to access your unemployment benefits or your health savings account, or HSA funds. As long as it has a MasterCard logo, you can use it anywhere you would use a regular debit or credit card. Regardless of what type of MasterCard debit card you may have, the balance can be checked in the same manner.
