Coutts say that they have beehives on the roof of their London branch.

The ‘primary’ colourful card design is a small portion of a larger piece of artwork made out of beeswax. I suspect since it’s a ‘secondary’ design it probably references that in some way.

It’s taken out of this ‘Bees Wax Sculpture’. I had to check the old version of their website because they seem to have revamped it and removed a lot of the details about the card.

What do you think about the regular NatWest and RBS debit cards? NWG seem to like their colour splodge designs

Amazon co-branded credit cards are issued all over the world. These are the Japanese version issued by Sumitomo Mitsui Card and a gold card issued by Rakuten, Amazon’s local competitor. I like the colors of both.

Reviewing financial products may count as a valid business reason (if that’s what @jo does) to have so many financial products, but there is a global crack down on “finfluencers” these days and the FCA are looking into tightening the rules on qualifications requirements. :eyes:

It’s a myth to need alternating payment networks.

Don’t you have an LBG card? They are Visa.
CO-OP if you want something very basic and not expecting any bells and whistles :rofl:

I’m not a fan of the new Click to Pay logo either. I don’t see the point in promoting a feature that, realistically, almost no one is going to use.

I actually have never seen Click to Pay outside of my bank app and even if it is I don’t know what it is because no one really told me lol

Just ask NatWest to change one of them to a Visa? They did it for me no questions asked

Does this work asking them to change it to a MasterCard? For my RBS debit card.

Do I need to call? Or can I just use Cora :robot:

4298

No idea but I imagine so. I did it through Cora.

I changed my NatWest debit from Visa to Mastercard today through Cora so it should be the same for RBS

I’m not gonna do it as I don’t use the account enough to justify making the change :confused:

It’s not exactly Sainsbury’s orange/yellow (can somebody check the hex code? :rofl:) but it’s a complementary colour for the NW’s and Nectar’s purple.

Edit: Interesting discovery.:backhand_index_pointing_down:t3:
