Lloyds were one of the launch partners for Access (which got swallowed up by Mastercard) so there is some historical logic to it.

This card is even vaguely Access-coloured.

As would HSBC. Like Lloyds my debit card was visa and cc was mastercsrd

Other way round for first direct. Yes I did think it was weird as well but there you have it.

That’s not just a credit card…

Wrong way round, the debit card is a MasterCard, the Credit Card is Visa. :+1:

What does everyone use for storing your card collection? Just having a far stack in the desk drawer isn’t very glamorous. Some kind of album like what folks use for stamp collections? Display cases like for watches?

I just keep mine held together by one of these in a drawer :sweat_smile:

I have a tin that came with a carhatt wallet case.

Oh god, I’d never thought of it like that before. We’re stamp collectors aren’t we.

There’s also a similar product available in Muji if you don’t fancy giving Bezos more money to get to the moon and there’s one near you. I store my cards in these for the accounts I don’t use often but have a card for.

Yes they do, I have one of these for a savings account I don’t actively use on a day to day basis but still get occasional payments into. It lives in the above mentioned Muji wallets!

What account can you get one on?

I have a business card book thing which works well for this.

You’ve got to admit it changes quite a bit in different angles, I rate it more now.

Yeah you’re right. I have one the plastic ones just for cash to cover that side but it’s annoying the metal ones get so messed up from the machines.
