    Another bank used to do this too, but I can't remember which one. I have been with Abbey/A&L for a long time so I would have said them but for what you typed. I remember when I got the card thinking what a great idea it was....

    I remember RBS (I'm sure it was but not 100%) who did this.

    Possibly but it wasn't with them..... Thinking about it now, why on earth isn't there more biometric security on our cards? A photo similar to a driving licence, or something more sophisticated.

    It was them. I had an RBS card with my photo on the back.

    N&P used to print the customer's photo onto their payment card next to the signature strip

    Goldfish credit card also used to do this IIRC. Rather pointless now that cards are rarely handed over to another party.

    You don't need to use it for day-to-day access (like M&S does) but just to set up a new payee... and even then you can do it by phone banking instead if you don't like the digidongleting.

    If you have an Android or iPhone, seriously, get the digital secure key. You can make new payees right from the app.

    Tesco Bank win the wooden spoon for being worst online though.
    No, I must dispute that! You clearly haven't got an account with the Co-op Bank, as they really are the rock bottom.

    In fact, I would nominate them as being the best for security, because I have an online account and half the time I can't even get into it myself. That's what I call secure!

    That's the one I had. In the UK it seems ages since anybody touched my cards. However when abroad this is very different and it always feels strange handing the card over...

    lol. I meant the recent security breach, which as far as I know, it has yet to be explained how it happened.

    Best bank with security is your own bank at home with the money under a mattress and you take out how much you need each day.

    Back on topic, I cant comment on FD, I find Barclays annoying as you need the Sentry pad and the card unless you have the app downloaded.

    RBS, Hallifax, Lloyds, TSB and Tesco are ok, not had an issue with any of them 5 being accessed by anyone other than me.

    RBS has the same need for a "sentry pad" (Barclays language). Barclays is actually better as you can use the Android app instead; RBS has no such function.

    Halifax, Lloyds and TSB have the exact same system, so no surprise you like them equally :)
