Co-Op Bank - Visa debit card
Options

Morning all....
A while ago, the Co-Op bank did a Visa Electron....
They then renamed it to Visa DEBIT, however, the BIN number started with:
4508
which relates to the Electron code as such (I think)
Does anyone know if when Co-op issue new bank cards now, they start with a different BIN number to reflect Visa Debit as oppsed to Visa Electron ?

I have a Visa Electron card. One day, some time last autumn, it just stopped working as an Electron.
Apparently Co-Op re-assigned all existing Electron cards as Debit, and stopped issuing new Electrons. I cut my card up and switched to Halifax for an Electron card, so I'm afraid I can't confirm what the lead digits on my card were.0 -
my visa debit(as said on card) was issued in 2009 and has that bin number, occasionally when I try to use it as a debit it comes back with an error and if I say its an electron it goes through.0
