Adam an Co Gold Visa Card

Hey pretty new too this but basically I am 20 years old and have received a rather substantial sum of money from trust. My parents have banked with adam and co since it established (before rbs owned) So I decided I would place all my money with them as I trust them and it also means no £40 a month charge.

However I now have an adam and co gold card.. is this a charge card, credit card or debit card?... does it count to my credit file... I really have no idea.

    Charge Card

    the select card is the debit card version

    as to whether they report to CRA's only one way to find out ... wait a couple of months and get a copy of your stat £2 report
    It's a health benefit ...

    Right...

    thats great... I must say I only really decided on the gold card because I preferred the way it looked.. really don't think there are any other benefits.
