urgent..can anyone look at their card andtell me what sort of card payment a COUTTS bank card is

[zippitippitoes]

..like visa, mastercard etcv

cheers

coutts bank v exclusive i think1

Coutts are a bank like NatWest or HSBC.

(we used to bank with them in the dim and distant past - our Coutts Card was a VISA card, but we also had standard switch cards etc.)

is it a world, gold,classic or currency card?

does it have a normal symbol on it though? I'm trying to put a payment through with one and I thought it was mastercard but that isn't working

the classic is def a visa

it's a debit card apparently

try VISA.

if its a debit wouldn't it be a maestro?

xpost - I thought you could tell from the first 4 digits of the card number what type it was...

Coutts . Apparantly they have just launched an account card to replace their cheque. It has meastro on it, can be used in cash machines and to pay for goods - somore like switch than visa I think.

Payment card or credit card ?

6559..is maestro delta?

I''l just have to send her the order and get her to ring me again i think

I've tried visa and mastercard and switch and they all come up invalid number

never mind it's not too much, she said it was mastercard but she sounded a bit blank when i asked her

Credit card is a Mastercard , Payment/debit card is Switch

oh right she said it was a debit card but Mastercard!

think I've tried switch and mastercard so i must have the wrong number

She wanted it urgently so I'll try and get the details again after

thanks anyway

I wonder if one of thsoe digits is wrong .....

Coutts.......ya gotta be filthy rich to have one of those....the queen banks with them!!!

you don't need to be filthy rich at all, honestly. We got a free current account with them because they were the business bank for a company dh was a director of.
Anyone can open a current account with them, but the annual charges are around £100 I think unless you have a lot going in.

I didn't like banking with them, for starters people always assume that you must be completed loaded as soon as you pull out your debit card. Also found it all a bit pretentious, the posh-looking cheques and statements...
