Flip it over it won't have a cheque guarrentee, it'll be an electronic authorisation visa debit aka Visa Electron

It'll also be blue in colour with the horse, this is replacing their current account visa electron product

The fact that I stated that I have a savings account, and a currents account, with a debit card which is Solo? :eusa_wall

I think I've mentioned it all. ;)

You can't say its the best, At Lloyds I get a platium account with a £250 cheque guarrentee with Visa Debit and a 8%AER savings account

Does that mean its the best? of course not.

Go wave your qualifications somewhere else.

kurtis5561, you have been told a few times, such as the above. It's experience.

Further more, the thread starter doesn't want to know the crap your saying, simply asked which bank offers a debit card.

No one actually cares about your degrees, or your FSA registration number

On topic; I would go with HSBC, or NatWest. Both offer Debit Card which are Solo.

Also read this:
You can top-up your mobile, use it online and at retail stores.
HSBC Online Banking is also very useful for transferring things.
Good thing with the HSBC accounts is that you can't get an over-draft. You can only spend what you've got.
You can also get up to £100 cash-back.

Hope this helps. :)

Before you ask for mine, I have not given a advice or a recommendation, I have mearly provided the information which the OP should go out and read up on, I am registered but do not need to post my registration number for the above reason.

Joining a bank based on a few posts on a forum is dangerous and the product may not fit your needs.

Sorry, your first port I was OK with but what's your problem? Most people on here don't know what the Financial Services Authority is and don't know that they need to be registered to give their opinion. They don't realise they are doing something wrong. Just because you have oh so many degrees in it, doesn't mean you can come here being sarcastic and talking to 13-16 year olds like they are some kind of black-market financial advice bureau. People are just trying to help this guy, we don't want to be lectured, thanks.

I'm with HSBC and they are proper decent. Never had a problem, and they'll probably be the last bank in the world to go bankrupt, haha :rolleyes:

dont go for rbs btw the mugging tax payers had to bail them idiots out.
