Written on: 31/10/2011

No doubt Debit Cards issued by Private Banks in India with VISA ELECTRON endorsement has several positive features, but I would like to point out a major risk with this type of card in India.

It was then I realized that I had lost my card and I immediately informed my bank to block my card and the... (read more)

Having had trouble with credit in the past, having a Visa Electron was a God-send to allow me to make purchases in retailers and online.

There is no cheque facility on this card (which makes sense) and not everywhere accepts them although I know some airlines don't charge a 'credit card' fee when you buy flights using a Visa Electron card.

Since been advised that this so-called debit card is still an ELECTRON card. Therfore can`t use it for merchants that request only ` Debit Cards`.

Little bit like selling a Porsch with the power of a Mini!!!!

“Easy to use,”

Written on: 23/04/2008

Easy to use,
No messing about, everything is straight forward, transactions, dealing with requests, taking money out, cashing cheques.... Couldn't complain. I am with Halifax and I find them to have great service, I only really use this card for simple activities like going our for meals... Paying for petrol... Only bad point for me is there are some restrictions online but I have never experienced a problem in the real world, and personally well recommend the visa electron. (read more)
