Read the wiki carefully before posting. Wiki may be out of date.
800-950-5114. Non-US agents are, as of at least August 15, 2015, able to do debit card payments. If they resist, ask for a US agent.
Please do not report that debit payments do not work over the phone, they do! Hang up and call again (HUCA) until you get someone capable.
The same thing can be done in a Citi branch, but you do not swipe the debit card or enter any PIN, so it seems likely that the same cards do/don't work in branch as over the phone.
The name on the debit card must match the name on the account. You can be an authorized card holder (they'll ask the name of the primary). You can also pay off Citi Business credit cards (only attempted as primary cardholder). Limit of one payment per debit card per account per day.

The Fidelity credit card is no longer issued by FIA. It's issued by Elan Financial Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of US Bank. Fidelity and FIA are completely different.

Just chiming in to say that FIA is still definitely issued by Bank of America. It's a wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America.

I was under the impression that, with the loss of the Fidelity accounts, BofA was able to merge the remaining FIA portfolio with its own branded cards, i.e., FIA is no more.
