Bank card= switch/vasa debit/connect?

comicmankev

Can anyone enlighten me to what banks provide what cards? Since a lot of the banks have got rid of switch and changed around their debit cards, can anybody give me a list (or just an idea of what your bank provides) with regards to the debit cards they supply?

ie - Abbey went from Delta to Visa Debit and Halifax went from switch to Visa Debit.

Is this what they all are now?

Hi There

Halifax has gone from Switch to Visa Debit (delta). Mines a £100 cheque guarentee card too. This is there standard current account but rarely use it.

Woolwich (my main current account) is a Visa Delta and a £100 cheque guarentee card. Ive been with them for 2 years and have always had this card, but do find the Woolwich excellent.

I dont know much else im afraid sorry!!

Banks usually provide one of two payment cards: either Visa/Delta or Switch (now called Maestro). Most bank websites will tell you what they provide. Main ones are:

Lloyds TSB - Visa/Delta
Barclays (inc. Woolwich) - Visa/Delta
RBS (inc. NatWest) - Switch/Maestro
HSBC - Switch/Maestro
Nationwide BS - Visa/Delta
HBOS (Halifax + BofS) - Visa/Delta
Co-op bank (inc. Smile) - Visa/Delta
Norwich & Peterborough BS - Visa/Delta
Alliance+Leicester - Visa/Delta
Abbey - Visa/Delta

I suppose you could consider Visa/Delta overall a better card. For more info on the differences take a look here :
