Debit cards - Lloyds TSB closing
 

Help required!

Lloyds TSB has sold out to HSBC here and I have no intention of my account being transferred to those muppets.

However, the Lloyds TSB debit card seemed to be unique when I opened the account a couple of years ago in that you could use it to check into hotels etc. For example the Standard Chartered debit card didn't/doesn't work for that and didn't have chip & pin either which made it pretty much useless as anything other than for taking cash out of ATMs

Anyone used Citibank here? Any good? Other recommendations?

I have an account with Citibank. They are okay I guess. Still waiting for my chip and pin card though...

So no chip and pin at Citibank :( surprised! That counts them out then!

RAK has a good reputation. I don't bank with them myself, but I know they once stopped accepting applications from ITP staff because so many of them doing a runner back in the recession.

That sounds to me like they've at least got one brain there.
