Collected thoughts on card design (Part 1)

I’m glad they don’t have the same horrid font the UK has. It’s one reason I wouldn’t use them!

So much better than the embossed card. I assume the personal card will go this way eventually.

I got mine the other day! So nice. Well done to the team.

Also. Hope the personal coral card goes this way too.

The two dots bottom left, I assume for an accessibility feature to know which way the pin is? I’ve never seen that on another card I don’t think, normally they do the cutout thing

It differentiates between the Personal and Joint cards - from a touch-only angle.

A number of cards now have the braille dots, sometimes as well as a notch.

Yes, but they all have them in different places. You’d have thought that all the banks would have agreed on a common system for the number of dots, and where to place them.

The shape of the notch will become standard on Mastercard depending on the type of card.

I hope the dots are not standardised so that disabled users can actually differentiate between bank cards from different institutions. They’re the last thing you’d want standardised, otherwise every bank’s joint debit card feels the same etc.

A HSBC card just issued in Singapore. Still retains the old lion design

Any Lloyds CC holders, have they finally refreshed their cards?

Getting in early with @j06’s “Card of the Week” (Does it need it’s own thread?)

I’m going with the card that if you could get in the UK absolutely would replace all cards. Here’s why I like it:

Portait
Nicely aligned
B-E-Autiful design
Still nods to the Lions (though I get why from accessibility this changed here)
Mastercard

HSBC

Great choice. I agree this would have been a nice evolution for the Lion range of cards.

Do you actually have one of these? Or admired from afar?

I wish! I believe you have to actually live over in Hong Kong to get one of these, but would love to have this as day to day spender

Is this hybrid real? Who gets issued that?
