Vertical Card Discussion (All Banks) 💳

[nickh]

Hard to tell - The numbers are flat (it looks like anyway) - Can’t tell if it’s a 3D object or not!

Might be a special cheque guarantee card for the surprise Monzo cheque books

[salvagefamily (Sean)]

Would be a pretty poor design to have the card number on the front

[tbutz (🏳️‍🌈 Producer of "low value commentary")]

If this was CSI we could just keep on hitting the “Enhance” button until we could see what it was.

[16bitkieran (Kieran)]

How do you know that’s the front?

[nickh]

I think the blue background is a fabric chair…

@nickh

I think the blue background is a fabric chair…

I disagree, I think that’s Tristan’s blue skin.

The background is purple > Starling is purple > Starling got bought by RBS > Starling Bought Monzo > Cards now Starling Purple.

Where is MasterCard Logo? I am fairly sure it’s not going to be vertical card… If I take try to take photo just as in @tristan’s tweet edge of MasterCard logo is there

[Feathers (MikeF)]

Monzo have become their own card network?

[Jackcrwhitney (Jack)]

I wouldn’t be shocked if it was just an improvement on the ink coming off.

I worry a bit about new cards for the sake of it. If they’re super amazing everyone will want one (and at 1m customers at a fiver* a pop that isn’t cheap). And if they’re not, what’s the point?

I’m hoping this might be more to do with something in app. Or maybe online only cards for the under 16s?

*I think I remember a new card costing Monzo around £5…

@Peter_G

Or maybe online only cards for the under 16s?

If they somehow pulled this out of the bag, I’d be over the moon.

I think you’re right with the digital side of things - Maybe “one time” use online cards?

[Peter_G]

Good thinking. But maybe also the full card number (and CVC) in the app?

[nickh]

@Peter_G

Good thinking. But maybe also the full card number (and CVC) in the app?

I’ve always wondered why that wasn’t already there.

But… Why is the sneak peek a real life card (from what I can tell… which isn’t a lot)?

Either way, consider me intrigued!

[gallifreyangirl]

I am intrigued as to what this could be, wonder when we will find out.

[Peter_G]

Looking at that picture again, those digits look raised - or at least have a raised effect on them.

[Rat_au_van (Em)]

I know it’s not the diagonal card

[coffeemadman (Jonathon 🏳️‍🌈)]

If you zoom in the numbers are raised still.

[Dannytc]

Monzo is dropping the M…

ONZO relaunch… Less is more
