personalised credit cards

Anyone know which credit card allows personalisation (ie owner's photo) to help against fraud? Have definitely heard of one, but can't remember which. Thanks. :confused:

  • Liverpool Victoria used to but as far as I know they stopped doing it years ago.

    RBS used to have the holders photo in the back. IMO this is much better security feature than chip-n-pin.

    In the USA cardholders are allowed to write "CHECK ID" on the signature strip. Shop staff then check their drivers licence photo.

    N&P (National & Provincial Building Society, if anyone's old enough to remember it - since swallowed by Abbey National) used to do one. Also Frizzell (think that was Liv Vic though).

    Abbey used to allow it on DEBIT cards (dunno if they still do) but then again you could use ANY photo - not much use against fraud.

    I'm sure there is/was another but I can't remember it right now. If it comes to me I'll come back.
