    Evening Everyone
    The Electron I have with the Co op is green coloured! but it does expire in October this year. To differenciate the difference between Visa Electron and Visa Debit, have the first 4 digits changed? My Co op Electron starts with
    4508?

  • Sorry mate Both same start from 4508

    Not sure if this has been mentioned but First Direct debit cards have switched from Maestro to Visa, which I'm pleased about because Maestro card numbers were sooo long and confusing!

    well my brother has a cashminder account ordered a card today and the lady confirmed it was a Visa Electron Card. I told her that I have heard Co-Op has start issueing Visa Debit Cards from 12/06. The lady said thats correct but not all accounts will be issued with a Visa Debit straight away.

    Might be an idea to call back and speak to someone else.

    I'm sure that the bank will no longer be issuing Visa Electron cards and your brother will get a Visa Debit card.

    Well he phoned Co-Op twice now and they confimed card ordered is a Visa Electron. The adviser said the card is not being issued to all cashminder customers. There are not sure when Visa Debit option would be available on his account.

    If he calls back and orders a new card he will get a visa debit card.

    The bank are phasing out visa electron cards.

    I've only just got my account - I'm gonna switch my wages etc from my A&L account then give it 6 months or so then go for the Visa Debit. I have a Visa D with A&L so I'll probably just carry on using that.

  • How does "B&M" authorise their cards as they display they don't accept Solo or Electron cards....... yet i use my visa debit and it displays Dialing and authorises the transaction via swipe/signature

    Anyone know?
