    Mine is an electron, I don't know if it is still the case but a couple of years ago it was the only card payment that didn't incur charges on budget airlines.

    It is still Visa Electron - as per their website.

    BOS issue a Visa Debit on their basic Cash Account and it would show on Halifax internet banking just like an Easycash.

    Yep- my card is still a Visa Electron much to my frustration! I use this as my main account. I actually had to stand in a shop and transfer money from my Halifax to my Barclays account to pay for my bus pass as their machine wouldn't accept my card :mad: but it took my Barclays card..
