Visa cards

Whatever your needs and wherever you are, there’s a Visa card to suit you.

Whether you want an alternative to cash that links to your bank account, a safety net for unexpected circumstances, or an efficient, hassle-free way to manage your money better, Visa can help.

• Visa debit and credit cards enjoy unsurpassed worldwide acceptance, and are the most useful accessory you could have in your wallet
• If you’re on holiday, at home or online, your Visa card will help you quickly, easily and safely pay for your purchases, whilst also keeping you covered if anything should go wrong
• Visa cards allow you to keep control of finances and can offer the flexibility that isn’t always available from alternatives such as loans and overdrafts
• There are also Visa cards to cater for more specific needs such as business purchasing and teenage spending

Visa cards give you easy access to your money and allow you to do so much more than cash ever could.

Convenience

By phone, by post, online or in person – you can use your Visa card all over the world – wherever you see the Visa sign. Make payments or withdraw cash from an ATM. A Visa card is like taking your bank account with you wherever you go.

Global acceptance

Just look out for the Visa logo on 29 million retails outlets and over one million ATMs across 160 countries.

Online security

Thanks to the Verified by Visa programme, Visa is widely accepted online and is more secure than ever. This simple-to-use service verifies your identity and proves that you’re making a genuine transaction. And it prevents your card from being used fraudulently on the internet.

Consumer protection

However you use your Visa card to buy goods or services, you’ll now be even better protected. You can, for instance, recover payments if you’re a victim of fraud, your goods fail to arrive or are damaged when they do, or a company goes into liquidation before you receive what you paid for, subject to your bank's terms and conditions.

If you do experience problems like these, you’d first need to contact the retailer or service provider concerned, to see if they can resolve the situation. If that proves unsuccessful, please contact the company who issued your card.
