Looks to be identical to the Nationwide one apart from the colour of the

What annoys me is that I can't use these devices to check a credit card pin.

As I mentioned above, I tested mine with my Barclaycard and it worked
okay.

It seems some cards don't like some readers and certain readers are a
lot more tolerant of other banks cards. There probably is a logic to it
somewhere based on which banks systems use home card readers. It seems
the ones that don't have cards which elicit a "wrong card" response.
