Physical Flex card? Speculative designs!

Monzo Chat
1

Now, we all seem to love a card design.

And super sleuth @davidwalton seems to have intel that there might be one on the way (for staff at least).

So, as well as frothing about Flex becoming a credit card (?)…

… let’s discuss the most important thing, would would a physical Monzo Flex and/or credit card look like?

Would it be the same as the virtual card? Or something very different?

Would Premium customers get a metal one (surely not?!)

Will these be a choice of designs?

And why would a physical version of the Plus Flex card be the best design?!

As the virtual one with coral running through it would be good.

I’m still not sure a physical card is needed, but we shall see how useful it is. Plus/Premium only perk? Paid for?

Not sure Monzo really want to send out a few million cards for something that doesn’t really need a card.

Would they need it though if they can have virtual?

It’s a card, it allows me to spend money. Couldn’t give a monkeys what it looks like.

What is it please?

(Aside from unclear pronunciation of brand names that are too similar to mathematical concepts).

But Flex isn’t a credit card. People (and in some ways Monzo) seem to want to force it more towards being a credit card, when really Flex and a CC are separate and while they can share some things that make them both better, it worries me the further this goes we just get the worst of both.

They don’t send you the bill and you pay it how you see fit like a normal vet?

What a weird set up.

Always paid after treatment for mine, Vets4Pets.

So you want it so that it fits a tiny niche but there are better products for it?

Maybe I just can’t see the woods for the trees, but I really don’t see the fascination with trying to make Flex into a credit card.

We had out of hours at local vet some years back and it was all settled in with surgery next day.

Must just be local thing for you.

I love the blue virtual one (I’ve got the hot coral running through it) but made from bamboo, or something which was environmentally friendly would be :+1:

Not true, my vets is part of CVS, I get an invoice at the end of treatment to pay. They have no card details prior to treatment. They’ve never asked for payment details up front, only at the end.

For any treatment regardless

My vets don’t outsource emergency cover so that might be why, it’s a fully staffed 24 hour animal hospital. None of that messing around having to go to another location. Ring them to make them aware you’re coming in, staff are at reception area waiting for your arrival.

I’d never leave my card details if a vet asked for them. Too many security related issues them just having the details to hand. Fortunately my vets don’t operate like this.

Amazingly, 33 posts later and still no speculative design. So here’s one, for a physical Flex card linked to a sunshine yellow card personal account:

Very predictable, but what else can Monzo really do here, other than change the colour of the ‘monzo’ or the ‘Thames stripe’?
