Yes you can, I did it tonight and it gave me a £99 limit to fuel my car with!

Co-Op basic account - for bankrupts.

CANNOT be used at pay at pump, tried it at a couple, says card not accepted.

Hope that helps.

Also cannot be used for Tesco online.

They are Visa Debit now, but still classed as Electron until 2011 or something, said Co-op customer services.

Otherwise, a very good service from co-op.

Is your card a Servicecard? (Has Cheque Guarentee). The card on the basic account cannot be used at pay at the pump as far I am aware.

If your Co-Op Visa Debit starts 4508 its not going to work at Pay at Pump or Tesco Online.

Yep - 4508

It's now a Visa Debit card, but still the same as an electron card for now.

I've not got one, but I've read that if you put it through as a "normal" Visa then it gets accepted at Tesco online.

I've not tried it as I don't shop online and don't have a Co-op Visa but worth trying and seeing what happens...?

You can use it if it says servicecard 100 on the front of it.

OK let me clarify:

You definitely can't use a Nat West Visa Debit card from a Nat West Step Account (Basic Bank Account) at garages at the Pay at the Pump machines - I know, I've tried - and it is in the terms and conditions of the Step Account

The OP was asking about Basic Account Visa Cards - I think a lot of people on here are talking about ordinary VISA cards

cheers -
