I'm not sure why you'd want anything other that a Bank Account account type.

I have a bank savings account on which I can use a VISA debit card and 
draw cheques, and it's all on one statement, so it wouldn't make sense 
to me to have a separate register for it, except, perhaps as a 
sub-account, but I think that unnecessarily complicates things.

What is arguably missing is a "Debit card" Action on the transaction, 
but I just make a note of Visa transactions in the description.
