    As everyone knows, Paypal doesn't accept Laser.

    Ulster Bank use Visa Debit cards, I'm still in secondary school though, so I can't apply for an account with them.

    Permanent TSB offer Visa Debit cards to Teenagers, it's great.
    I'm only 17, and I can get one with a Teen account.

    Opening an account with them today.

    ...and he is also incorrect.

    There was a discussion on another thread showing that teens can get a Visa debit through Ulster Bank.

    You'll almost get it immediately if you go into the bank. But be prepared, they're a rude lot!!!

    I went into a branch and asked them to issue me one they said they can't and the best way is to ring up and say you broke/lost your laser card.

    Not in a major rush for mine as Laser does me for the moment.

    Just wondering if there's been any updates on the roll out.

    Your card probably won't be replaced with Visa Debit unless your laser card is close to expiry. Laser will soon be a thing of the past for most banks..

    i rang ptsb and told them and they were scratchin there heads wondering what the problem was as there was enough funds in the account all the time,so after talkin to a 3rd member of staff that night he decided to re issue me a new card,so week or so later recieved new card and activated it on line,and still was same problem i cant use it to oay bills over the phone,so i was fuming and rang ptsb back up and i got this lad that told me that ptsb are in talks with visa to sort this problem that visa block these type of transactions,im baffeled as i could use my laser no problem to pay these,now im kinda stung wit this poxy card thats no good to me ,can anyone shed more light on ths subject??

    thanks

    I've no problems with my one, have bought numerous things online and from take-aways, etc... Something up with your account, ie: technical error.

    After several calls and visits to ptsb, I eventually got my visa debit working the way I want it to. I can't spend money I don't have anymore. So no more outrageous referral fees. That's the way I wanted it. It's just like my atm card now only I can use it online or in the shops.

    If your card was declined its because you don't have enjoy money in your account. Or maybe your visa isn't connected to your account yet. Give them a ring, but be prepared - they're a rude lot. They somehow enjoy being nasty to people. Best of luck when you approach them if you don't have a hard neck like myself.

    yet another problem with the visa debit card - client was trying to pay his tax online with ROS today, it won't accept VisaDebit, he'll not be able to pay on time, we'll write a letter explaining the situation, it might and might not be accepted. If not, there'll be a few quid in interest and penalties and of course a higher chance of being audited.
    I know it's not necessarily PTSB's fault that the revenue don't accept their new card, but surely they should ensure retailer compliance before rolling out these things?

    Jaysus, let it go. We get it. You don't like PTSB staff. Do you need to post about it so often?

    You have made your point. Repeatedly. Also I think you are in quite the minority with your experience and I can't help but think your attitude has a lot to do with it.

    You make it sound like you have to stay there. You said already you were going to switch to UB. Then you changed your mind because they sorted out the visa debit card issues for you. Now you are on whinging againt without any specifics to back up for complaints.

    Paula60, if you have issues with PTSB staff, take it up with their customer care department. This thread is for the discussion of their Visa Debit Card, not their customer service standards.

    I just got my card today and registered my card online, but Its not working on Amazon.co.uk or a few other places.

    Is there like a 24 hour waiting period before you can use the card??:confused:

    It also doesn't work with paypal.

    Got my ulster bank visa debit recently. Going to Oz and think it would be easier to have a visa debit instead of a laser card. Anyone have any experience of using the card abroad? Fees, etc?

    Paypal, i havnt done any paypal transactions yet, could be a different story.

    I topped up my dublin parking tag aswell with it and purchased an item off elara..

    I tried ringing them this evening about another issue not related to the visa debit but all i got was "We are sorry but we are unable to assist you at this stage, we appologise for this inconvinience, please try again later"

    Think they are getting swamped with calls.

    Seems like a tech error on their side then. Really should have sorted out things before sending out the new cards.
