I found out, from 2 sources (both MasterCard, one by phone and one by website) on November 9th of 2017, the following information. Please double check the information below, as it can change at any time. I will not be responsible for the facts of this post at a later date.
1st, source Website:
After entering “Paypal Business Debit Card” on “google.com” I clicked on the first link which was “https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/debit-card” under “FAQs” then “Does the card protect me from fraudulent charges?” then “Mastercard Guide to Benefits.” link, which forwards me to “https://www.mastercard.us/en-us/businesses/small-business/cards/business-debit-card.html”
It reads;

2nd, source Phone:
Going to “https://www.mastercard.us” and at the very bottom of the page, below “Frequently Asked Questions” I found the phone number to MasterCard Assistance Center which is 18006278372. I called them also on November 9th 2017
