Doubt it. World Elite didn’t follow the Premier Debit style before, only the Premier Credit did.
HSBC must be going with a new design style for their cards. The new cards have a background rather than a solid colour or a gradient. First with Global Money and now with World Elite.
I can’t be the only one who dislikes that triangle-arrow design on above the chip.
If you’re on about this (see image), then it’s an accessibility feature on HSBC’s cards (along with First Direct). Santander also has them on their cards (their debit card, at least).
Yes, I’m on about that. I get that it’s for accessibility but it’s ruining the design, IMO. Same with the cutout. Sacrifices, I guess.
I wish that the UK had more Metal Card like the US
That looks like a really nice card. Can’t justify the cost however with the standard premier debit being enough.
On a side note has anyone else’s plan feature stopped updating. It hasn’t covered transactions for days now which is a shame as it has always been consistent previously.
Yes - I posted about it on the HSBC thread yesterday.
No activity since the 17th for me.
Oh. I thought this was the HSBC thread 
HSBC (Hong Kong) launches the same design for its Premier credit card on the same day. Not World Elite and no arrow.
AIUI the monochrome Mastercard logo on a credit card means ‘world elite’.
Then this card (branded as “Premier Mastercard”) may actually have been upgraded from World to World Elite, but no announcement has been made yet
I’ll get that one too 
And the notch! 
That could be a film about an historic battle. "“The Arrow and the Notch”.
So new HSBC card design language incoming by the looks of it, if even debit cards in other markets are changing to it. Can’t wait for a purple version.
Finally bye bye lion cards?
Why does the HSBC Premier travel card charge such high foreign usage fees? I honestly would have applied if not for that.
It looks like the Premier colour pallet is shifting towards red rather than purple, so we might see something totally different.
The Hong Kong Premier ATM card is red, instead of the purple we saw with the lion.
I just have to know.
Subjectively is the word you’re looking for
My card is landscape in my wallet and in ApplePay. Landscape looks better.
