Solo Card Services Reviews

I have a Solo card. I have no choice in the matter, as many of you will know, I was the victim of fraud, and have yet to clear my name with the credit reference agencies, so on paper, I am a bad risk for credit. Not being able to get credit does not bother me too much, as I just save hard. I have a mortgage with the Abbey National who saw me as ...  Read the complete review

Solo cards aren't very different from cash cards offered by many banks (I've got one from Nationwide) carried by many teenagers today. Their use is to withdraw cash from ATMs like normal credit and debit cards. So why bother to apply for one. One word. Internetshopping. Or was that two? The fact is that there are many online shops which ...  Read the complete review

The SOLO card is one of the best idea's since sliced bread, corny cliche, i know. The SOLO card is a DEBIT card, not a CREDIT card. The SOLO card allows teenagers who are not earning to have a Debit Card, this wonderful contraption does not allow you to get overdrawn because you do not have an overdraft which means you can only ...  Read the complete review

I have had a solo card for way over a year now and have had it with natwest. I have found it incredibly useful. The Solo card is a switch card for under 16's and over if you can't apply for a switch but it works exactly the same. It is a debit card, which means you can pay for things using the card. Unlike a credit card it is ...  Read the complete review

I've never been that great at keeping track of my money (not that I have much to spend anyway!) so when I saw my bank - HSBC - offered a SOLO card I was keen to try it out! So what is SOLO? Well, it works on the same basis as Switch in that you can sue your card to pay for goods in shops that accept the card rather than using cash! ...  Read the complete review

Everyone thinks Debit cards ae really pointless and a waste of time, but ill tell ou what, they really are wrong in the case of a Solo. Admitadly some Debit cards such as the Visa Electron are pointless as nowhere accepts them at all! I got my Solo two years ago, at the age of fourteen, so at the time there was nowhere that did accept ...  Read the complete review

Now I am not a fan of the Bank Of Scotland and that is where I got this card from. Before I go any further with this review, I suppose I better explaine the heading. Things were going great for me with the bank. I had my student account with cheque book and Switch debit card. Then some idiot decided to use my Switch numbers to top up ...  Read the complete review

Switch, Delta, Electron, Solo - they're all basically the same. I used to have a Switch card - accepted by virtually every shop or service - a debit card by any other name. I now have a Solo card, due to recent financial difficulties it was all I could get. This works in much the same way as a Switch card - it's a ...  Read the complete review

When there are so many different types of card payment around, why are there so few for the under 21's? I have encountered a problem with the Debit card system in this respect - as I cannot use my Visa Electron card to purchase online in any degree. The Solo card does allow limited online purchasing - but is more restricted in high ...  Read the complete review

SOLO, this is a debit card, launched by the Switch Card Scheme in 1997 (I?ve done my research). I currently have one with Natwest?s Card Plus account aimed at people aged 11-21, so my experiences of SOLO will be tailored towards NatWest, but I?m sure the services offered by the SOLO card are similar all round. SOLO is a debit card. What ...  Read the complete review

What is SOLO? SOLO is a debit card for people aged between 11-21. It has been around for quite a few years now, since 1997. I have one of these cards and I think there absolutely brilliant! I'm very impressed and happy with it. My SOLO card is based with my Natwest account but you can get them elsewhere too. I'm only 14 years old ...  Read the complete review
