Yes, I recall I went in when I was visiting family in Scotland. Only took 10 minutes.

Would definitely say this card is much better looking then any of my UK cards, luckily to have this one as I have an account at HSBC HK.

What happened to card of the week?

Also, are there any nice brown debit cards out there?

I’m sure there used to be a coffee bean credit card back in the day. But it’s not a colour we see often. Can’t think of one off the top of my head.

Obviously American Express has a brown version, didn’t remember it being Harrods related though

I was trying to search the card design database to see if there’s an option to filter for colour for @N26throwaway but there wasn’t.

Instead, so saw an option to filter by theme and stumbled upon what must be one of the worst and cheapest design under “banknotes”

Closely followed by the second worst from the same bank:

If Google Translate is to be believed they respectively say: “money at a fix(ed price)” and “money, only money”.

Now if that doesn’t scream responsible lending!

Edit: since it’s a Sunday I thought it would be the best use of what little energy I have each day to peruse the entire “Banknotes” section of this database. Interestingly the further east and or south you go in Europe the more of these designs there are per country. Though most of them are travel money cards, and not some gaudy depiction of the country’s own currency implying infinite money.

Special mentions go to the cutesy Mono Bank (definitely not Monzo, why are you looking at us like that?) and whatever this US one is:

I’m guilty for this for sure (hello Revolut gold), but isn’t it mad we sometimes choose a bank for its card design, and not for full offering ie app etc :sweat_smile:

Or maybe it’s just me idk.

Best card ever. Whoever designed this cow card deserves to be paid massive bonuses and be able to never work again.
