Anyone else use a card of this type?
My laser card just expired and Ulster Bank are only issuing VISA debit cards as replacements.
However I am being charged a 1.5% credit card fee by Betfair when I make a deposit with the debit card.
I've queried it with Betfair but I'm just wondering if anyone else had the same issue and what the outcome was?
Thanks in advance.

IS IT VISA ELECTRON??
they'd be handy to have as they can be used with ryanair ant not get the credit card charge they are a debit credit card to should not be charged the 1.5% |

It doesn't say Electron anywhere on the card
It has the word "VISA" and the symbol in the top right-hand corner and then the word "debit" printed underneath. Is an Electron card different? |

visa electron card now attract a charge on ryanair since the end of last year. Beftfair has always charged 1.5 % for Visa debit cards. Laser is the only one thats "free"

Win-only - I have a mortgage already and believe me I won't be moving for a looooong time. Also I have a joint a/c where my wages are lodged and all my monthly debits come out of and a separate bank a/c which I use for betting (and porn!). |

my visa debit card has never incurred the 1.5% fee but it is an english card. Phone up and tell them as I was charged once on the purple site and phoned upo and they amended it.
