I think they said that UK banks don't issue them (whatever they are).

They said that *credit* cards were not issued on that system in the
UK. Which they wouldn't be, as an Electron card is by very definition
not a credit card. (The whole purpose of it is that it must always be
authorised online, so it is not possible to run up unauthorised debt
with it).

See my reply to Mr Buddenbrookes.
