Sending debit card speed

Rebecca01

I was just wondering which bank accounts send their debit card the quickest. I want to open an account to do grocery shopping with.
I ordered one for my old yorkshire account. It has been 7 days already. Still. Not arrived.


Are there any you can open that send them next day.

Be interesting to read anyone else's experience.

Received my Bank of Scotland in 3 days and that came all the way from Edinburgh to south of England.

For grocery you may want to take a look at some cash back debit/credit cards. For things like Tesco this can be beneficial.

Metro bank give you your debit card there and then when you open the account- no one quicker.

Use a pre-paid virtual card, which - subject to security checks - you should be able to get almost instantly?

Others are available.

Thanks everyone.

Just had a look at metro bank. Unfortunately doesn't look like there is one in my North Eastern town.

I was approved for a Halifax account on a Wednesday and received the card on Monday.

Ordered a new debit card from Nationwide on Thursday (changed account type), received it yesterday.

Barclays send replacement cards within 2 working days.

However, I'm not sure about the first card after account opening though.
