Totally agree.

All the major banks apart from Barclays and HSBC use Mastercard for credit

Nationwide uses Visa for their credit cards.

Ah the banks that didn't let me open a bank account when I moved to the UK :)

Technically they are not a bank. They are a building society, but they are effectively a "bank" and have a few million customers.

My HSBC credit card has always been Mastercard.

I was looking at HSBC’s credit card services earlier; they have a mixture of VISA and Mastercard, though they tend to use Mastercard for the more high-end services.
