Just googled what their card looks like - hadnāt seen that one before. Perhaps a slightly updated version of the hot coral may be better than a total overhaul.

I didnāt mention it before but I have an OCBC Frank card in Singapore and you have different custom designs (or plain ones) you can just pop into the branch and choose from. Itās really quick as well, and you get a ton of offers with it for shopping, student loans too. https://thefinancialbrand.com/18642/ocbc-frank-gen-y-banking-brand/entrance/
Maybe Monzo could consider allowing a couple of designs depending on what people prefer? I love the coral colour, but maybe some people may prefer something more understated. Itās probably not feasible to have an actual branch but I remember people can just pop into Monzo HQ to pick up replacement cards etc., it would be nice to be able to compare them on the spot.
P.s. This is the card design I have (not my card dw)

In what way? 
I thought the card was adorable hahah
Imagine seeing those eyes looking at you every time you make a transaction 
maybe the card is meant to scare you into not spending

I was close to doing something with the Barclayās customised card tool for a similar effectā¦

Maybe Iām too much of a knee-jerk āaww thatās adorableā animal lover, but to me it looks more like these cuties
@samw I wish it was that frightening it could stop me from spending (or change my mind with a judgy stare)ā¦ I never keep very much money in that one, and I love using it 
lots of people have complimented it but there are more and more custom cards in the market, itās not unique anymore! Even our transport cards (like the Oyster card) have superhero customisations (I chose Robin)

Ah, for the FRANK accounts we just pick from a bunch of designs but Iāve seen people put memes and personal photos on their Barclays cards. I think I would draw the line at selfies though- who wants that on a card thatās like putting a picture of yourself on your phone lockscreen! Still, I guess it would help with stopping identity theft? get their card held because āmaāam, this is not your face- we suspect you may be using a stolen cardā.

Rejected for the above reason 
That could actually be a better cardholder verification method than chip and signature. āChip and selfieā
(I think I might need to patent this before the US banks all get onto it since they love excuses to delay implementing proper chip and PIN)

Iād love that card design! Very apt
I have no idea anymore with the US card situation, Iām glad Apple Pay was brought about since getting your cards to work on the reader (swipe or chip and pin or contactless? Itās a toss up) is such a faff.
It probably would throw up problems of its own though, since some people look markedly different at 3am trying to buy food than (probably) all glammed up on their card.
Apple Pay is nice in that it forces retailers to upgrade their hardware if they didnāt already - any hardware that supports NFC would also support chip and PIN (and the contactless transaction flow is pretty much identical to chip and PIN, which means if they upgrade their software to support that thereās a good chance chip and PIN is already supported and is just waiting to be enabled).
It probably would throw up problems of its own though, since some people look markedly different at 3am trying to buy food than (probably) all glammed up on their card.
Solution: have two cards - the day card and the āafter a few bottlesā card. 
Having a two-sided/ two picture one would definitely be ideal
(but both are you)
