This is a feature I would like to see, it would make for more convenience. Furthermore, I have had an issue with Royal Mail rejecting a Monzo current account card as ID, a frivolous reason was given, but still a minor annoyance.

Not thatās this helps you, but Iāve used my 
a few times as ID to pick up packages from the ālocalā Royal Mail sorting office. I have a card with my name on it.

What was the reason, out of curiosity?
As mentioned by jzw95, they havenāt had problems, so this was likely an isolated incident. However, the person picked fault that the card wasnāt by a āreal bankā, therefore wouldnāt accept it as ID.

Did you point out their banking licence?

No, however this would not have made much of a difference, as this individual took it upon herself to decide this. To clarify this is not an issue directly with Royal Mail, but rather an incident with a particular member of staff, who did not recognise it and hence would not acknowledge the Monzo card as ID.

Iāve seen this topic come up in the past and I wanted to say its a shame that the account number and sort code arenāt printed on the debit card like most other banks. I know its been said that it wonāt happen because its a security risk, which isnāt something I agree with. Its just annoying having to write down my account number and sort code when I want to move money between apps. -1 to Monzo
Little tip. You should be able to copy and paste them between apps rather than writing it down.
I tend to do this as it further reduces me entering it in wrong.
Also I believe another reason for not having them on the card is that they donāt actually form part of the card itās self, Itās a number tied to your account not your card.

This is the main reason and keeping it this way leaves the door open for future possibilities like multiple cards on one account or using a single card for multiple accounts (personal & joint) and switching which account it goes to in the app like Curve.

As far as Iām aware, thatās not what Monzo has said, that was speculation by people on the forum. The official reason (further 
this thread) is to allow dynamically linking the card to different accounts.
On thisā¦
Which banks are you aware of that are considering developing a more dynamic relationship between card and account(s) in the future? The examples you give are banks that see the debit card as being tied to a specific account. Would be very interested in any banks innovating in this area (aside from Curve, Iām aware of them, and theyāre not a bank).
The only one I know of is bunq which issues one card with different PINs to debit different accounts held by one customer.
Contactless defaults to the āmainā account.

Our old friend Mirow mentioned this a while back here:
He does mention the rotating CVV too in another thread:

CVV and PIN are completely different things. The CVV is the security code (normally on the back signature strip). @j06 was referring to the 4-digit PIN used to authorise an in-person transaction, which Bunq apparently uses to allow access to different accounts with one card.
@j06 thanks for the reminder. I note that thereās no account number or sort code (or IBAN) on the Bunq card!
