    Hi

    Do you not have a bank account?

    They need to verify your identity, hence the need for a card or to send it to your address. Why can you not have it sent to your house?

  • Yes I have a Nationwide cash card account and I don't want to have personal financial post coming home - I'm just looking into a pre paid mastercard, but not sure where from

    well according to this, you should get a debit card with the NW cash card account?

    They did send me a letter few months back saying all cash card accounts getting a debit card by end June 2010, but received nothing so I guessed I didn't meet the requirements, which didn't surprise me

    How about ringing them and asking them what happened?

    If you do not get one from NW, open another basic bank account with any of the people listed in the link I posted above and you will get a debit card.
