I wonder which ones online and offline so many questions? Lol

Do you they come contactless? How come the chip is bigger on the middle card?

There shouldn't be online and offline there should just be one type of card that just works.

You don't buy a car with three wheels then later have to upgrade to 4 wheels. Conversely, I don't expect a bank account card to only do part of a job and then have to "upgrade" to one that does the whole job.

RBS pulled this deceitful little stunt on me back in July and when they gave me their "off line card" and wouldn't change it. Making it sound like they threw some kind of moldy old bone and I should be grateful. Yet the tax payer is propping them up.

I cut it up and handed it in with my "please close my account letter". I must have been one of their shortest lived customers.

The purple one looks nice, but I'm not sure about the blue one. Now I'm curios how the new Lloyds Bank cards will look like.

The one with the bigger chip will almost certainly be the contactless one.
The others will be standard offline and online cards.

I would imagine you are correct as all my contactless cards have a chip that is larger than the none contactless cards.

They will probably be the same as they are now with the horse on the front but will say Lloyds not Lloyds TSB on them.

Yes indeed I wonder which one is.... lol you can't really tell as the first 4 digits are the same.

The card in the middle I should imagine will be the contactless version this chip is usually bigger on a contactless card.

So your saying banks should give people that have basic accounts or poor credit histories and have been irresponsible with the way they run there accounts a card that doesn't check to see if funds are available in an account before authorising a payment. That would be called being irresponsible!!

If RBS gave you the offline card then that means they trust you with having a card that doesn't always seek authorisation from the bank, thats usually the best card to have as it can be used on planes trains and places where they cant connect to the bank to check funds.

If you have an online card then it will always dial home to check to see if you have funds before authorising a payment, if it cant then it will in most cases decline the card.

Why were you so annoyed they gave you an offline card??
