Re: Solo card not working
What do you mean "it's not working" - what are you trying to do with it?

Re: Solo card not working
Either 01 or 1 would work but the new ones don't have an issue number.

Re: Solo card not working
If you mean online shopping, a lot of sites don't accept Solo.

Re: Solo card not working

I had that very same problem with them - try putting it through as a Mastercard - that was their advice and strangely enough it worked

Re: Solo card not working
Mastercard is what maestro is connected to, like the fact that visa electron works as visa

Re: Solo card not working
Get yourself a (proper) Visa Card, some banks do Visa Debit cards, otherwise get a Credit Card.
