Collected thoughts on card design (Part 1)

ICICI or BOC?

ICICI.

BOC seems too much effort

Psst

I’m almost certain we should move this chatter to the respective threads

What’s everyone’s favourite and least favourite card designs?

My favourite would still be the Santander debit card. Least favourite is probably the NatWest debit card just for those colours. The purple RBS version actually looks quite nice

Favourite is BOC, I just wish it worked via Apple Pay. Least favourite is Santander, the signature strip looks terrible.

I think Chase is probably the classiest of the ones I’ve had. The Nationwide ones are still good quality. Lloyds was a real disappointment.
Edit: RBS is good quality and nice-looking too.

Opening and closing accounts is the least of his worries.

Whats wrong with the signature strip?

People even sign theirs anymore? :joy:

Without going to check, it’s hit and miss if I do mine but never had any issues.

Many years back my employer (ex cashier) said to not accept cards without a signature and they weren’t allowed to sign it there and then. Can imagine how someone wanting to pay for their shopping would react about this :melting_face:

UK Favourite designs: Between Bank of Ireland, Coutts and HSBC Premier. Each of them have a unique charm.

UK Least favourite designs: Drummond’s, Bank of Scotland, the new Nationwide cards. Simply ugly designs. BOS have potential for a great design as they have a great logo.

Special mention for the HSBC Global Money card too. The basic HSBC debit card looks so plain and boring. I would upgrade to the Advance if you could do it in the app but going into a branch is far too much effort for me these days.

Completely agree. Out of all the easy (and free) cards to get in the UK, the HSBC GMA is probably one of the better looking ones.

Oh I like it too, much better than the regular HSBC card.

But then I loved their horizontal lion designs :heart:

Current phone wallet. As way of introduction? :wave:

I’m sure there was a post about plastic wallets? Muji? I’ve found a stash of cards I’d love to share.

on the physical card or the digital wallet?

oh no, that’s strange.

I don’t have anything below my full name, that space is empty.
