Hiya,

Does anybody know of a Bank that offers a Solo card on a Basic Account other than Natwest please?


Thanks
James

    I thought their Basic Account only came with a cash/ATM card

    Hiya,
    Yeah I has heard about this but didn't know if it was true!
    It's a shame you can't apply online for that account, As we don't have a branch here :(

    Have you got a Clydesdale near you? They are the same bank and offer the same service/card.

    I've also heard a rumour that Lloyds now offer a full blown Visa with their basic account, but not totally sure.

    Yeah no Royal involved in it! Can't say I like BOS since they merged with Halifax. Once upon a time they were quite reasonable and would refund charges if you were only pences short. That never happens now its always a case of "Computer says no" syndrome!!!! LOL
