Collected Thoughts on Card Design (Part 2)

My first Starling card came like this. Was very exciting way back when.

Worse. Wise is still the nicest app imo.

Thank you. List of currency looks way too modest compared to Wise, too.

You don’t get details for any other currencies either I don’t believe. Not really the best tbh.

Like Euro it’s just given me a Euro pot. No IBAN, and not the option to request one.

Wise could be nice, get rid of that loading screen animation, and the exchange stuff off the Home Screen it’s possible to be liked.

Does it ask if you want to split a transaction after every purchase?

Lloyds bias? :eyes:

Isn’t this their main USP?

Probably, but if I want exchange I’d go and exchange.

I’ve never liked the neon green since they rebranded from Transferwise, feels disposable. I guess they’ve done a focused group research and concluded money = green, not navy and with Monzo’s proven brand recognition with hot coral, neon green became the choice.

The white card, however is :ok_hand:t2::ok_hand:t2::ok_hand:t2:. White also rhymes better with “Wise” so if they chose white and silver (maybe plus gold and bronze) for their next rebranding I wouldn’t be surprised.

It is so white that its transactions don’t show in my Apple wallet

Saw this but the ÂŁ180 annual fee put me off. Also find it weird they charge FX fees for spending when its a airline co-branded card?

But it does look nice, very restrained design.

That’s because you’re old skool and using light mode hun.

Whenever permitted, dark mode always.

I feel like I’ve been waiting forever for these to be back in stock, but I didn’t order one when they were available so the FOMO is getting to me
