Posts: 4 Newbie
Hello 
Im 17 and Iv had an abbey account for about 2 years. Last year when I turned 16, I got a letter from Abbey basically saying "Now you are 16, you can get a chequebook and a visa electron..." etc..
Up until now, I havnt needed / wanted the card..but now im wondering how I go about getting the electron card? Is there away to apply for it online or do I have to phone or go into a branch in order to recieve it?
Thanks in advance

Not sure, try searching their site for an option to upgrade your account or go into your local branch and ask them how to upgrade your account.0

It will be a visa electron.
You'll have to go in to the branch.0 -
You can't upgrade online. It has to be done in branch or over the telephone.0

Go to the branch, it will take less than 2 minutes for them to order you Electron card.0
