Collected thoughts on card design (Part 1)

The digital image of that card is the worst I’ve ever seen.

It’s bizarre, why does it have such an extreme gradient when the physical card doesn’t?

The Visa version had a less extreme gradient, I suspect to represent the shiny finish / light reflecting off it.

But then when they made the Mastercard version they must’ve forgotten to include the bottom layer in the composite image. So you have the gradient going from 100% - 0% transparency, but with nothing underneath, thus rendering as white.

How does the google pay version look like?

I will soon get it :slightly_smiling_face:, just waiting for my paper application.

Probably the same. What’s this with all the paper applications?

It’s not really private baking though is it.

Same mobile app as RBS and no branch. Well there is a branch but only for actual private baking customers who operate on a different sort code.

Most people don’t even know what Drummond’s is, opposed to say Coutts which is more prominent.

Yeah Yeah, I know it’s not private banking. But just having it on the card looks cool. People in my family all have got Official Private Bank Accounts and Cards but just having one that says its on it feels sorta cool you know.

I have HSBC Premier but that’s the nearest I am at the moment to proper Private Banking.

My Father is with Coutts and UBS. He has been with Coutts for like 20 years and UBS for 5 years or so.

My Mother is with Coutts & HSBC Private. She has been with them for like umm 15 years or something like that.

My brother has got HSBC Private in Canada.

I hope to one day be eligible for the Private Banking but I don’t see that happening anytime soon unless I join the family business which I don’t plan on.

Trust me it’s not.

I have told them many times to get rid of them. As I don’t really see the appeal of them

:sweat_smile: You impose your banking preferences on your family?

Ummm well no but also yes sometimes. My dad listened to me and got UBS and he has loved it so i mean…

My brain makes no sense. I blame all this revision tbf

I’m curious though, so say your family have a Coutts account or Drummonds account… what is the downside to them using it?

Probs wealth management tbh. Don’t see any other major perks to “private” banking and maybe better rates on things like mortgages and loans

But where’s the downside is more my query.
