Separate Bank Account

Hi - not really a money saving question but after hearing more and more about internet fraud & skimming etc i want to open another bank account just for spending with - either online, in pubs/restaurants, petrol stations etc. so i have a card i can use in all these places but if the dreaded happens, it wont be too much of a hassel. I just need an account with a switch/visa card facility, no overdraft or anything like that, and i will just set up regular transfers into the account from my main bank.

So, anybody on here reccommend such a bank/account that would best suit tis purpose?

Thanks in advance.
