This was always the way. The vertical cards were the odd ones in the lineup to not be slightly different between the accounts.

I do like that. Feels of the Burnt Titanium Ridge Wallet, which I thought looked unique too.

BMO has launched a new Porter (Canadian airline) credit card, and I now have a deep desire for the fancy raccoon card.

(As opposed to the normie, sitting on an airport floor because his flight is delayed raccoon card)

heyyy, glad to see Mr Porter is still doing well. Got fond memories of flying with them from Toronto to NY many years ago, when the flight attendant realised we were fellow Glaswegians, and made sure we didn’t go thirsty.

Same here! Keep those Steam whistles coming!

I was so annoyed when they let ACV use Billy Bishop. The lounge had a nice, exclusive feel when it was just Porter passengers.

Cool card and the Racoon is my spirit animal. Loved seeing those little rascals in Toronto.

I still prefer the simple elegance of the old one with the green core - unusual Mastercard logo placement though.

They used to have a debit card didn’t they?

They did, then they closed the bank.

And loans and insurance.

Santander still has cash cards? I like the colour

What account does this come from?

No idea. Found it in Colnect and got curious.

I used to have a basic bank account with Santander that had a cash card and a debit card. But thought they were discontinued a while ago.

Behold this monstrosity

You haven’t seen the Virgin Essentials card that I’m uploading when I get a chance :rofl:

The M&S debit card was designed by Sir Terence Conran, the world famous designer. It was meant to capture the essence of Britishness. If you think it’s a monstrosity then you clearly have no taste. :grinning_face:

It seems to be NLA, but sounds like they continue to issue them when they reach the expiry date.

Can’t wait. I don’t know why but I have a bizarre wish that I had that current account sat in my virgin online profile!

Done by a famous designer? Yes
Is it very ugly? Yes
