I could be wrong but I understand that Sepa regulations meant the Laser was going to meet it's maker sooner rather than later. Altering it to comply would be very awkward so it's easier for the banks to switch to an existing alternative product. Visa Debit seems to have it sown up.
Was in my local Permanent TSB today inquiring about switching. Was assured that the will be launching Visa Debit from September. Based on this will probably switch current a/c to them, once Halifax are done with me.
Had considered Ulster Bank, on the basis they are the only other institution offering a Debit card. After meeting with them was disappointed to learn that you still can't pay 3rd party credit card bills on line with them - one of the reasons I moved from them to Halifax 2 years ago.
I can't imagine how you couldn't. All you need is the card issuers sort code, account number and use your card number as the reference. Are you sure the advisor didn't misunderstand your question?
This would be the answer to my prayers! Although it doesn't say anything about it on their website. Still, I'm going into a branch tomorrow to see what they say. If this is true they will have at least one extra customer.
