What is meant by PIN-based, PINless, and signature-based debit?

PIN-based transactions occur at the point of sale, and are defined by the entry of a PIN (Personal Identification Number) by the cardholder. Also referred to as online debit.
PINless debit transactions are conducted without the cardholder present and are generally used only in processing environments with recurring transactions, such as utilities or other bill payments.
Signature debit, also referred to as offline debit, is the use of a check card issued by a bank and with a Visa or Mastercard logo. During the transaction, the cardholder can elect to use the card as Debit (PIN-based) or Credit (Signature-based). The use of debit cards for payments has increased steadily over time, as much as 25% per year.
