No, debit card authorization holds only apply to VISA® debit card transactions when you sign your name or do not enter a PIN. For example, a VISA® debit card purchase made at a restaurant or with an online merchant would be treated as a Signature/Credit transaction and would be subject to an authorization hold.
Debit purchases and ATM withdrawals made using a PIN usually subtract the funds immediately from your account (except, for example, when you use your PIN at certain gas station merchants).
