I have read a number of threads referring to card readers but I wondered what they are? Do they plug in your PC?
Where I have two accounts, with the same bank (NatWest), can the same card reader deal with both accounts or do you need one each?

I used mine for the 1st time yesterday.
About the size of a pocket calculator. I was asked by my bank to type in a 7 digit number....on pressing "enter" a random 7 digit number is generated which you then enter into your details. The bank knows what that number should be therefore helping to verify your authenticity.0 -
AFIK any card readers issued by any British bank are interchangeable. However, some banks use security measures other than card readers.
Here is the Nationwide's demo on how to use a card reader.

Same reader will work with both cards (in fact my Nationwide one accepts my LTSB current account card. None of my credit cards work with it though.)Conjugating the verb 'to be":
