    Even if they can't provide a new card-reader, they'll likely be able to identify any problem.

    But I don't think any of them issue card-readers do they?

    YB/CB do.
    My YB device is not a 'card reader', ie it doesn't require my debit card to be inserted. Are some CB/YB devices different?

    Mine's not either. It's more akin to the HSBC one, just clunkier, and it has a cute little screw on the battery compartment.

    Soz, yes, the YB/CB device isn't a card reader. It just generates some codes, like the HSBC/FD ones do. I must have got confused by the size of the thing since it's roughly as big as one of the card reader gadgets.

    Alternatively most of the banks' card-readers are interchangeable with it. (except HSBC)

    I use barclays card in a natwest one, and viceversa:beer:
