Monzo investor card - design concept (By Brice Corbin)

What value would you see in time and money being spent on designing, producing, and continuing to support printing and re-printing these?

Love the design it is sharp and modern :slight_smile:

I was thinking about this the other day when my housemate cancelled his card just to get a replacement that said Investor on it. It’s pretty shocking how wasteful bank cards really are. I’d love to see some sort of biodegradable, recyclable or paper-based alternative.

Virtual cards and premium paid for metal cards. I’d like to see both.

Metal cards would be cool. Especially if there was a way to change how expiry dates work.

Virtual cards is already a thing with Apple/Google pay. I just don’t have a fancy enough phone to use that yet…

Good work, but I feel like it’s waaaaaay too corporate.

Monzo is a counterpoint to the old banks.

This kinda looks like an amex platinum or a fancy hsbc card.

I want some mental crazy stuff, cos I’m an investor.

I’m not pulling out the pink card of fun, I’m pulling out the bad-ass bank disruption card.

Yeah, that’s right, I invested in breaking central banking principles.

Monzo for life.

Here is a design I done but only posted in the other thread redesigning the Monzo card

Here is the post again:
Whilst not a designer but a marketer I think the hot coral has to stay just like Monzo say. I love everything black and would jump at having an all black card, however this is Monzo’s brand.

The design isn’t anything ground breaking, it’s more of an update of the current version. Trying to achieve the hot coral is a guessing game as Monzo don’t have any official brand guidelines. Also as nice as a white MasterCard logo would be it’s not possible based on their guidelines.

I also stuck with the horizontal version as I don’t think the vertical version adds any value apart from looking different and more like a hotel key card. Plus I have a card holder as my wallet, so ā€œmonzoā€ sticks out nicely and is 1. a good conversation starter and 2. easy way for me to find which card I need.

Personally I think the Monzo :monzo: should be on the card to help enforce the brand more. And should be changed similar to the app depending on what status/account you have.

But yeah, here is the design and my thoughts.

Now that I prefer.

It is so cool to see so many new ideas for Monzo cards! Thanks a lot for taking the time to do it :hot_coral_heart:

To give a bit of an update, we’ve only recently started to work on what a new design system for what our cards should look like. Things like our future business banking will require new cards so we’re working on something that would allow us to create new ā€œkindsā€ of cards in a sustainable and consistent way and without breaking any of the things that make our current cards great.

We’ll be sharing updates soon but I can tell you we’re looking into pretty much every aspect of what makes a card a card. Colours and inks, materials, finishes, magnetic stripes and signature boxes, embossing techniques (now that we have Google and Apple Pay it’s not that important to make the card camera-friendly), questioning what information we need printed on the card and what we don’t, etc.

We’re literally looking at every option to go and make our cards even better (not different, but better). Stay tuned :wink:

I’m definitely a fan of moving the card number/expiry date to the back of the card :blush:

What about activating a physical card in the Monzo app? That still requires it to be camera-friendly, doesn’t it? Wouldn’t want to return to the days of typing numbers in!

You will like Android. Just needs a tap at the back of the phone and done, no camera pointing :joy:

Don’t change it. Keep it the original card! Shouldn’t discriminate against those that didn’t invest.

Discriminate…
