I’d take the bait, you can get back at them so easily? Anyone is complaining about long phone hold when calling their bank; “oh, I need to go to branch again, here goes my lunch break”, or you getting back from hols and saying “I saved £50 on currency exchanges”, “I was waiting for refund, but I asked them on chat and they refunded today”, “Monzo was down, but they reimbursed me”, “It was Sunday, perfect day to do some banking with excellent Monzo Support guys”… I’m pretty sure this will trump small banter from your mates, what do they have to say? Just about colour… 
And basically, why is none of them using Monzo yet, hmmm?

This card looks really smart! 
When I’m paying for something and whip the card out, if the sun is shining the colour of it actually reflects on the cashier’s face 
they always ask ‘wow that’s a bright card, which bank uses it?’
To be honest, I say it’s a great colour because I can see it when I’m drunk and trying to pay for stuff… 
for the win!

Hi,
I think that - from a user’s perspective - it’d be great if there were at least a couple of options for card colours. I completely get the marketing reason behind having one very distinctive colour on offer, but given that blue is the colour that drives the app, perhaps that should at least be an option? In an ideal world, having something like a plain white card with the Monzo branding will still be striking and would be much more aesthetically pleasing!
I imagine that the marketing benefit of there being a sea of fluorescent orange cards probably renders this unlikely, but it doesn’t hurt to throw it out there!

I love the hot coral card but more importantly in my opinion it allows me to quickly recognise other Monzo users and it’s a great conversation starter.
If we had the choice now, that waow factor would dilute and as a small bank still, I think Monzo would be shooting itself in the foot if they got rid of it now.
Maybe in a few years, once Monzo is bigger the coral card won’t be as important and other more traditional colours like navy could be introduced.

I quite like the hot coral colour, it has got a lot of friends interested in Monzo and some have joined
However if we were to choose colours then I’d definitely think going all out on fluorescent colours is best - we need to spread the Monzo word one extremely bright coloured flash at a time

I get that a lot and it’s a great opener - I’ve referred at least one person just from that very opportunity to explain what the card is. There’s nothing like catching the eye for organic viral marketing

I like the hot coral but I think the design could be cleaned up and made a little more “premium”. Speaking to a certain employee I was given to understand Monzo are looking to get MasterCard waivers to alter certain aspects of the layout/design beyond what is normally permitted.
It is also a question of scale: in the beginning it would have been hard enough to get a card manufacturer on the phone, now with the impressive growth rate they’ll be trying to lap up the business and thus will be pushing the boat out!
New colours for card?
That is decent!

That looks like it comes with a shiny suit and one of those ‘I look like I’m going for a weekend away, but really I’m just going to the gym’ man-totes.

Hello
Got my current account card today. Thx.
The only feedback is - why is the card the same colour as prepaid? Its going to confuse the hell out of me!
Also, mine did have alot of rub off on the envelope - you can read the numbers.
New Mastercard logo might help

I don’t have the shiny new one with my name and the new MasterCard logo on

Thanks for the logos - If i have to look that closely… it’ll take time.
In a card wallet, they both are identical until you pull one out.
Why not have a different colour card for Current account? At the moment, the app icon is a different colour.
you’ve the colours from the Marque / Identity !?
