Looking for a card that allows payment from joint account

I have a personal injury trust account which does not have a debit card. Is there any credit cards that would accept payment from this type of account?

    Can you make faster payments and/or direct debits from it? If so then you will be able to pay any credit card bill with it.

    as above really - set up a payee on your bank account for the card - this will be a generic sort code and account no with your long card number as the reference.
  • I have tried 3 different cards and they will not accept D.D's from an account needing 2 signatories to authorise payment.

    Ask the 2 signatories to send you a fixed amount of money each month from it.
    - Be aware this could affect any benefits you receive and possibly a question for the benefits board.

    Have you asked these credit card companies if you can send a paper mandate?
    They should allow it, it just may not be possible to set up online and will require paperwork being sent out in the post I believe.

    If the issue is that two signatories need to authorise all payments then this presumably rules out any automated/scheduled/remote access and limits you to manual withdrawals?  Do you use a different bank account for routine day-to-day spending?

    I suppose just opening another account is out of the question ?

    setting up a payee on the account is not setting up a dd

    The question is just what can you set up on the trust account?
