Redesign cards

I know that the coral colour is signature to monzo and I respect that but…… it’s a horrible colour !!! I loved the blue card and metal card that was available before the newest perks update.
Is there any way monzo could come up with potential colour customisations that customers could choose themselves. Even the virtual cards colour combinations look amazing compared to having coral.
Having a coral, holo coral and burnt coral card is wayyyyy too much coral !!

Also side note! MONZO DO MERCH AGAIN !!! I loved the jogging bottoms that were available agesss ago !!

I agree. After upgrading to Max I am disappointed with the coral card. I was expecting a metal card like on the plus.

We need to have a choice & get metal cards for Max.

It tells you before you upgrade what card you’re getting - no mention of metal = no metal.

I understand that but it should be a option or at least something you get for paying more with Monzo Max!

You never paid for the card previously, you paid for the benefits.

I get your point, but Max isn’t about what card you get with the package you pay for.

I know it’s about the benefits, but I am just saying that with paying the extra for max it would be great to have an exclusive card to go with the Max.

Although banks have offered a range of colours for their cards in the past, such as Virgin Money, so I don’t think it’s an unreasonable ask. Monzo may, or may not, choose to act on it (probably won’t given the recent issue of the new cards). When I signed up to Starbucks many years back, they also had a huge choice of designs for their cards!

I think when it comes to redesigning cards it should be voted for by the customers of what designs people like. Unfortunately the designs are basic and poor in my opinion. I’ve seen better mock ups by Monzo fans than the company itself. Having a vertical card would be amazing, as well as something premium looking if you’re going to pay a premium price for the account…. Not just a burnt orange with a logo that has abit of holo on it.

Hot Coral is the brand, it’s core to the brand awareness, and it’s for the birds that it’ll go anywhere soon

I see both sides of this

In Fairness you did used to, the metal card was a ‘perk’ in that you could only get this if you got Premium. However you are now getting more with Monzo Max in terms of the offering, so there’s that

Technically you did, it was part of the ‘benefits’ of premium

Well it is, except that it’s not metal. You only get the burnt coral if you pay for Max.

They were very clear *(Monzo) why it wasn’t - but you never know, they did bring airport lounge access back in, so never say never

More than likely true, but I don’t think it’s possible to completely rule it out at some point in the far future.

We might be talking about two things. I’m on about metal cards, not the colour. I too never see them moving away from Hot Coral - it’s too engrained into peoples minds now

I don’t see the necessity to have ALL the cards just be different tinges of each other. Nearly all banks out there have a different colour for their premium banking account, most have different colours for different types of accounts.

Barclays is blue, unless you’re on premier then it’s black, or unless you have their platinum credit card which is silver, or their rewards card which is purple. So many banks have their brand colour as the standard card, and then most other cards are different.

The burnt coral is really not great, they should have done black with a hint of orange in the corner or something more premium and sleek. Glad I can keep the premium metal card till it expires in 3 years and praying they replace these colours or I can get some kind of special one at some point in the next 3 years.

The burnt coral has really grown on me.

  • White metal was a fave because of the minimalist, unembossed design.
  • Sunshine yellow had the same sleek looks with the glow-in-the-dark, retina-searing appearance.
  • Burnt coral has both in an understated way, unique coloured, sleek front and turn it over to get a faceful of bright Monzo.

I likey.

HSBC is a tad different. Their standard account is grey card, their advance is black.

I’d love an advance card but I’m not worthy :disappointed:

I think it’s clear your views on this from your response to my post too. And I agree it probably won’t change, but you seem very keen on adamantly saying this is a complete none starter. How about AMEX? No standard card colour, green has even been totally dropped.
