I have an "VISA ELECTRON" debit card which has an VISA ELECTRON logo on it. I am unable to do online shopping with it as it does not have an 3 digit pin number. Does that mean I cannot shop using this?

You need to get a proper VISA one, but you have to be 18+ to get one.

i have a debit card as well (but it has the number) and i use it for all my shopping. only some merchants require that you use the 3 digit security number on the back.

Apply at your bank for a Solo/Maestro card. Electron isn't really understood by most establishments .. unfortunately.

On the back of debit cards, there is a 3-character security/confirmation code, not present on Electrons.

Obviously just something we have in the UK
 . You should be able to get a debit card other than Electron.

I had a Visa Electron, I couldnt do any online shopping with it, theres no sites that accept it (well if there was i dont know of any). On the back it says "For Electronic Use Only" basically means that it has to be swiped through a machine or used at a cash point etc.

I have an electron and i have found 1 site that lets me use it... luckily its the one i use most and thats amazon.co.uk
I got into an argument over it at my bank because basically its ****e and i want a visa even without overdraft but they pretty much told me to **** off!
