    Appreciate this idea is a little niche - I've most recently found the easiest route for small debit card transactions to be making £1 payments towards future Haven holidays.
    I've always assumed that there is a fee paid by the retailer whenever a card is used for payment (flat fee? %?) which is why some of the BS have been known to have a hissy fit with persistent £1 depositors. 

    Are you not concerned about Haven doing similar? 

    Not at all. I'm paying for a product. It's up to them to ensure they make a profit, not me.

    If £1 debit card payments are a problem then they shouldn't allow them (unless clearing a balance).

    This is quite different from a financial institution who ultimately have to give every penny charged back to you when you demand it.

    Sign up for Trading212 using a referral link, open a stocks and shares ISA and deposit via debit card as many times as you want. £1 at a time works fine.

    I used to just do £1 payments into energy account. Nice and simple.

    After £2000 of card deposits there is a 0.7% fee.
