    Well the website clearly says its an Electron card with Easycash http://www.halifax.co.uk/bankaccounts/other-bank-accounts/

    Visa debit is issued with Cardcash and Expresscash accounts
    Debt free and staying that way! :beer:

    Yes, sorry my mistake. It is a CardCash account, although it's strange as she isn't anywhere near 16-17, I assume they keep people on the same card as before then?

    The Co-op's Cashminder basic bank account still has an Electron card despite the Co-op sending out debit cards "badged" as`Visa Debit - they NOT - they are Visa Electron cards!!

    Stations on Merseyside and pay-at-pump facilities at petrol stations will not accept my card as it still comes up as "Electron". The Co-op blame the retailers and the retailers blame the Co-op...

    If you really want or need an Electron card, get a Co-op Bank Cashminder basic bank account.



    my co-op cashminder visa debit card works at the pay at pumps Chris, don't know where you are using them, but at asda and morrisons it is recogonised as a visa debit

    Thanks Sexyshark, I sometimes buy my petrol at Asda so will try pay-at-pumps next time I'm there.
