NatWest: Chequebook with Blue Debit Card?

MrSilk

Hey guys!

Happy Friday

Just a quick question, is it possible (from your experience), to have a Chequebook with an online (Full Auth) blue debit card?

I want a Service card that will work at Pay@Pump but I went into NetWest yesterday and they ordered me a new card and on the receipt it said: "Card Ordered: Full Auth". I explained that it doesn't work at Pay@Pump and he said the card must be faulty

My card number starts with 4751 28.

Bit of a random question really but just thought I'd ask just in case anyone on here knows from experience

Thanks in advance guys

I suspect, but am open to correction, that your card and eligibility for a cheque book are now separate. (particularly since the demise of cheque guarantee cards.

Several RBSG staff use this site who will be able to advise you more fully.

The branch were wrong I'm afraid.... a "full auth" debit card requires the FULL amount to be authorised, rather than the £1/£2 usually taken at the pay-at-pump terminals.

Cheque book should be fine, try ordering it online through the "account admin" section on the left of the main page after you login.

Correct. Anyone with a 'full' ie not Basic/Select Silver (credit restricted) account can have a cheque book. Since the removal of cheque guarantee cards the risk is virtually zero.
