Not really comfortable using it

Use it online and it is supposed to make life easier. I’m not sure this is true because you’re hit with fees and there is always the chance other people maybe able to access your account. I only have a card because this is the way it is now.

Very happy with my card

I saved alot of money with this card

This was my childhood bank and now I’ve got what I dreamed of. My mother has the same branch as I have. She was a member ever since she opened an account when she first started work at school. I loved the bright red card when I first saw it and I wanted the same as hers.
