Just picked up on this rather important nuance.  Debit cards are also accepted by Google Checkout.  Its also only US, although I am sure thats temporary.  So look out Certapay in Canada.

Accept payments through Google – Terms of Service

Payment Instrument: The credit card or debit card that is registered by a Customer with the Service to facilitate the processing of Payments Transactions. The Payment Instrument must be associated with a billing address in the United States.

Relevance to Bankwatch:
Banks must not continue to ignore the payments space.  Transaction revenue and balance loss are at stake as payment vehicles such as this provide greater convenience thus attracting associated business.
