I honestly don’t get why at Wells Fargo or Goldman Sachs you can just grab a VISA Electron card to go along with both your checking and your foreign currency accounts, while over at JP Morgan Chase or Bank of America, they make you tie it strictly to a foreign currency account. It makes zero sense—just feels like extra hoops to jump through.
Also, quick question for the experts here: is there actually any real difference between a VISA Electron issued by Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, or JP Morgan Chase? Like, is one somehow better, or is it all just the exact same plastic junk?
From what I’ve dealt with using my Bank of America one, it won't even work for anything online.

Bank of America isn't even set up for online transactions. JP Morgan Chase and Goldman Sachs are... honestly, it's pretty basic stuff. They just aren't as capable.

Oh, I see... so you're telling me Bank of America isn't registered for online shopping, which is why their VISA card won't work either?

So I’ve been reading through the threads here and I am honestly losing my mind—how does it even make sense that two identical VISA Electron cards aren't behaving the same way when I try to buy stuff online? I’ve got one from JP Morgan Chase that works perfectly fine, but then I try using this other one from Bank of America and—bam—total failure. Like, nothing. It just won't go through. I mean, isn't it the exact same thing? They are both VISA Electron cards! What does it matter which bank printed their logo on the plastic or whose name is staring back at me? If it’s a VISA Electron card designed by VISA, it should be universal, right? Regardless of whether it came from JP Morgan Chase or Bank of America? Or am I just being an idiot here...😕
