I hung on to my old-fashioned purple card until it’s expiry last year and, I have to say, I miss it!

The new design just isn’t that great and I can’t really get used to the teal. I preferred purple.

I know what you mean about the “old lady-ness” of it being shiny.

I think I would have preferred the white print, actually, but mine has black print.

I think they changed over after getting complaints about readability. The black print is fairy readable but looks really out of place and ugly against the teal.

I would quite like them to drop card details from the card itself. Surely, as a mobile-only app bank, they are well placed to do this. Curve have done so already on some cards.

I also think Monzo should go to the version of their card which is the current US design, only without any numbers on the card too. It would massively improve security and help tackle cardholder not present fraud.

No shininess on the Apple Pay image! I couldn’t care less what the physical card looks like, as it rarely leaves my wallet - in fact, my wallet rarely accompanies me when I leave the house these days.

That’s my view on the card design thread but I would be shot down for posting it.

Can be bright pink with the teletubbies on it for all I care

You can still have an opinion on which card is more aesthetically pleasing, even if you don’t care what it looks like! :slightly_smiling_face:

Not having an opinion is an opinion. It’s not on the list. :wink:

I did like the purple designed one.

The blue business one is quite nice though.

You had some opinions over here Collected thoughts on card design - #101 by Anarchist :wink:

or are you just saying you don’t have an opinion on Starling cards?

Busted! Though I might say that’s more an observation than opinion :wink:

Couldn’t give a flying fox about card colour, though.

Agreed, it’s close really which is nicer. But my favourite is the purple.

I’m with @Anarchist in the “couldn’t give a ****” category.

Like @mirodo though, I rarely use a physical card, unless need an ATM :man_shrugging:

Colours and designs of cards don’t bother me, just what the account attached to them can do for me.
