Can anyone suggest a good business card holder to keep all these cards in? Wanna get the storage sorted before I start my collection! :grin:

Cheers, that’s a bargain! I’ve got 7 cards at the moment, so I think this one has the capacity I need for a while! Haha.

I’m excited to see what you’ve got. I already thought my collection was extensive, but I am absolutely ready to be shamed.

Does anyone have a idea why NatWest card designs change every few months? I just received a new one and it now has the details at the back

No idea. It is strange NatWest redesigned its cards and then redesigned them again a couple of months later, having already heavily promoted the first lot on social media. They even went as far as changing the images completely on the RBS cards for the portrait versions. Maybe it was due to negative feedback?

Looks better in the wild than any images of it.

I like it, looks nice in Apple Pay and the wallet. Kinda wish I’d signed up for one of those elusive biometric cards tho :eyes:

As I remember it the landscape cards came first (I certainly saw them first) and the RBS ones came with the weird yellow ‘X’ marker sign, and the weirder train carriage windows for Premier. I remember someone tweeting that their Premier card looked awful (and it really did) and then all of a sudden we were into portrait and the sheds.

I find the sheds really odd. RBS a should’ve gone with something Scottish (even obliquely) and memorable. The sheds are meh, and have nothing to do with anything.

My parents are NatWest customers, and now live in Scotland, but I can only imagine my father’s reaction to getting a picture of a random hut on his debit card.

HyperJar card isn’t all that bad tbh.

These are the ones I’m currently using, although I do have more in a draw somewhere.

I do like that green as well, but the new font just doesn’t look right. The spacing between “Starling” and “Bank” looks a bit too big.

I must be the only person who likes the new wordmarque for Starling on the cards. Wish the circular purple ‘S’ logo was included, but I’m not angry it isn’t.
