How to Apply for a Debit Card

Current Accounts with Suits Me®

Applying for a debit card can be a daunting task.  If you are looking for modern and hassle-free banking, then Suits Me® is the solution for you.  As a great alternative to the high-street bank, you can open an account in just a few minutes, with an instant sort code and account number.

What is a Prepaid Mastercard® Debit Card?

Suits Me®’s Prepaid Mastercard® Debit Cards work the same as a high-street bank’s Debit Card, except we do not offer credit (for example, an arranged overdraft), which means there is no need for credit checks!  To find out more, read our blog Debit Cards: Everything You Need To Know.

What Are the Different Account Types?

Suits Me® offer two types of prepaid current accounts: Premium and Premium Plus.  If you are looking for your main account, we recommend the Premium Plus account.  If you are looking for a secondary account, we recommend the Premium account. 

Whichever account you chose, we have some great features available for you including our fantastic cashback rewards!
