Pots

I hate to be an environmental party-pooper, and although I love the practicality of this idea, in a world with so much disposable plastic would this not be pretty wasteful?

Agreed. I’d prefer to see the option to switch which pot my existing card is linked to. In this scenario, when on holiday, I simply link my Monzo debit card to the group trip pot, and my card is now the group trip card.

unlesssssss - what if there are cards developed for the most part with biodegradable plastic? Wouldn’t be so bad if they were to go through the wash since they’re only temporary…?

I think this should be what they use for all cards.

Recycled or biodegradable plastic cards

I like to try and reduce the amount of disposable plastic I use, for several reasons. One thing that is unavoidable at the moment is bank cards, which have to be replaced every few years. I believe that one or two banks have used non-PVC based cards. Has looked into options for using a more sustainable material for the debit cards? I wonder if it’s now possible to make them from recycled plastic or a plastic that biodegrades (say, after 10 years)?
