Just to take that away from Danny (because he totally deserves it ) that design actually came from an early blog post.
You canât do that @alexs let this one go his way
I admit I didnât do it but I have been pushing for it
No! Nothing exciting here, just another standard boring card. Keep Hot Coral.
I would love my Monzo card to look like this
Thatâs what I think of hot coral
For how many people would a choice of card actually impact their choice of bank?
Yes. If there was a boring navy blue card but another bank had stripes or bright orange I would probably change to them.
I really like the N26 cardâŚ
That is a gorgeous card. I want one!
It wouldnât for me. I just need the numbers as I canât pay for anything with the cards look and feel
Its a nice design but they should definitely stick with the current fluorescent orange card. Thatâs how I found out about Monzo in the first place, I was serving a customer and I noticed their card which sparked a conversation and they told me all about Monzo. When I got home though and wanted to look into it I couldnât remember the name of the bank so I just googled for âbright orange bank cardâ and Monzo was the first result.
So without the brightly coloured card I (probably) would never have found Monzo.
The next time that person comes in to my work Iâm definitely going to thank them too.
That being said, a small subtle pattern on the current card design would be a nice touch.
Yes, I think Monzo should go all-in on hot coral for all their branding - the world doesnât need another dark blue bank card. The multi-coloured logo doesnât do much for me either, Iâd prefer to see a pink app icon with the logo white out.
Perhaps something a little more adventurous for the card too which keeps the colour, gets rid of those ugly misaligned embossed letters and does something more adventurous with the front of the card - you donât need the numbers on the front of the card any more. The front of the card should be a branding exercise, perhaps with a name, but it doesnât need detail like expiry etc.
Something more like this:
Then leave all that boring stuff on the back.
Nowadays with contactless and stored card details itâs rare to have to pull out the card and read the number off, though of course you need it on there, it just isnât as vital as previously.
Would like to see Monzo offer custom cards at some point though for those who want them and just let you upload a pic as many banks do, thatâd be nice, as long as they got rid of the embossed letters, which tend to ruin custom designs otherwise.
Really like that even more minimalist approach and youâre right, no need for the long number to be on the front. Could it be argued itâs a security issue having the long number and security code on the same side? Be easier for fraudsters to take a pic if all details in one place? I know, very unlikelyâŚ
Yes, I think Monzo should go all-in on hot coral too.
Why leave blue strip make that coral and remove MasterCard sign, no need.
You need the logo though surely?
Better?
Yep thatâs good. Well we know itâs MasterCard so why state the obvious lol
There is a need for some form of touch sensitive indication somewhere on the card for accessibility purposes. I canât say what is best for this, but it is an extra consideration.
Iâm a big fan of the Loot.io card. You canât tell from this pictur, but it is translucent and you can see the contactless circuit/antenna inside.
