Halifax easycash account

Posts: 65 Forumite
As part of my preparations for my debt free date ive opened a new bank account.
I wanted at account that has no affilliation to any of my previous creditors as ive had issues with a few of them
Continuing to take payments despite the balance being cleared.
Ive gone with the halifax easycash account.
Does anyone have any reviews, positive or negative on this account?
It comes with a visa electron card.. What are the main differences that i will notice between my current basic account visa debit card and the electron?

Electron is accepted most places in the UK pretty crappy online or abroad though.0

I use a card cash account as a second account. Haven't had any problems in using the card in the UK or online. Cannot comment on overseas usage.Don't lie, thieve, cheat or steal. The Government do not like the competition.

Are they still issuing Electron cards on this account? I thought Electron was being phased out etc?Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0

I wouldn'y worry too much - most places accept Visa Electron that accept Visa credit/debit cards.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0
