Don't go, coral card! šŸ˜

Those would be ideal. Blue for normal and silver/white for investors. @hugo could you pass this to the designer as I really love this.

Snapchat choose Coral as one of the three Spectacle colours offered.

Love this design! :heart_eyes:

I love this design.

Not so ā€œin your faceā€ as the the current card

One of my friends has just received their new :monzo: card and we have noticed that his card is a slightly different colour to mine, and one of my friends :thinking: (The different card is the middle one!)

I like the coral colour too, it stands out and was certainly a good marketing ploy. I hope it remains, but I wouldn’t mind the other card either, it does look smart after all. I don’t know about the rest of the Monzo community but I have quite a few cards such as loyalty cards, etc, and it can be difficult finding my bank card quickly. I used to have a lovely Nationwide card that had a coral coloured edge making it easy to find and use. That meant I wasn’t spending too long looking at my purse and not keeping an eye on what’s going on around me so I felt safer. Nationwide accidentally declared my card as lost and as far as I am aware their latest card doesn’t have this lovely coloured edge, so it’s back to square one for me.

I know it won’t be possible to implement this for some time, but I would love to be able to have a card that didn’t have contactless, too.

Out of interest, what would be the benefit of a non-contactless card for you?

Thank you for asking Alexs.

After some thought, I think the main thing is that I am very content to put in my pin each time I pay and I don’t feel like I need a faster service. I feel there is more of an unnecessary security risk with contactless and while the risk is very low I don’t want the hassle.

But I also appreciate that this is unlikely to be a common concern. I might just be a bit ā€˜outdated’ on this one.

One of my favourite Monzo features is that I’ll be able to freeze my card, as soon as I receive the instant notification that someone has my card & has made a contactless transaction (assuming that I have an internet connection of course).

As I’ve never had my card stolen either, the security risk isn’t really a concern for me & I’d rather avoid the friction of entering a pin but I’m sure you’re not the only one so it’s interesting to hear your opinion on this.

As you say, I think the momentum’s heading in the direction of contactless though. Obviously Apple / Samsung Pay would allow us to only use contactless with verification and chip & pin for the rest of our transactions but that seems a very long way off.

Use either the logo or the name, not both. If you need to use both then your logo is worthless.

Personally I’m happy with the monzo on its own, it’s clean and minimalist not cluttering the card.

Yes, I do like that I could instantly freeze the card via the Internet.

Personally I think you need both name and logo (though it can be in different corners of the card) as the bank is not yet well known and it helps to raise our profile with those at a shop till who may not have heard of us

Woah! I think that navy blue with the splash of coral along the edges is a fantastic mix between Pro and Fun! :smiley:
I love the full coral look… But this is a wicked ā€˜compromise’ if it ends up happening :slight_smile:

Certainly won’t have anywhere near as much recognition at a glance though :wink: #coralwins

Owh awesome!! Looks pretty decent, much more modern that their old one :wink:
Kind of fitting for a modern bank, wouldn’t you say! :laughing:

Have you thought of the ā€˜m’ in monzo being the logo style?

That reflection texture though :ok_hand:
