    Glad you liked it :)

    Totally surprised that for an entirely innocent initial question on this forum you have been accused of internet trolling (a revolting crime), fraud, lying, deception and being jumped up. Strange world we live in and very sad that at 15 you are getting this sort of stick....

    Good luck with your card - hope you get it!

    You might want to read all responses and you might understand....

    "Truth be told; I couldn't care any less about how you feel" and "Why on Earth do you feel a need to tell me this? " don't exactly read particularly well.

    I have read them all and some are not very nice - you are out of order matey - he's only a kid! You can't expect top level diplomacy from a teenager (no disrespect Barns). He was a bit short with Bloomberg but not without previous provocation from Sassy and Chanz4. Give him a break.

    If someone comes on here speaking like that I'm sorry but they're fully aware what they are saying. I stand by my comment.

    Ha ha - not sure what you are insinuating there? I'm on call and currently sober - how about you? Sorry to have upset you by "coming on here" and giving my opinion.

    I meant the OP, not you.

    You need to be 18 years old to have a "proper" debit card.

    So therefore, I don't think your bank will issue you with a contactless card. I'm sure they can only by law issue you with a Cash Card or VISA Electron.

    I'm only 23 and only got a Debit Card with embedded numbers when I was 18. I believe I had a VISA Electron and Cash Card beforehand.

    Kind Regards,
    Alan
