    So glad to have this card

    Reviewed by Anon

    I took out this card a long time ago and since I have been on a Disability Pension have found it to be one of the most useful things I have ever owned. The major reward of this card is just being a part of BCU. I have found them to be most accomadating and the best financial organisation going.

    A convenient credit card, with no annual fee, low rate and great security protection. This card gives you access worldwide, can be linked to PayPal and similar payment systems, and allows for PIN entry and/or payWave at the checkout. It offers peace of mind as far as most of the current fraudulent schemes including false emails and the like and has a up to the minute fraud detection system to protect your account. All in all


    Generally very pleased with this card
