Personalised Credit Card

Grade_A_Reject

This isn't the sort of post I thought I'd ever make but are any credit card companies still offering the facility to customise your credit card with your own choice of photo / design?

have you tried typing in "personalised credit card" into google?

brings back loads of results, RBS top the list

Thanks, found it.

I was already on the NatWest site when I placed the original post but couln't find the personalisation bit on their website. Thought they may have stopped doing it.

RBS and Natwest def. still do personalisation but it costs a tenner.

They also vet the images and can reject unsuitable ones. I'm not sure if my chosen one would get through either with or without the Bank of Uganda logo I was also planning....

I think you have to own the copyright to the image or something, or have the permission of the copyright holder. So basically a pic you have taken/made or have the permission of the owner. Sorry!

Yes, it is

Nuns are scary, especially for poor old Father Jack

Technically if s/he takes a photograph of a Bank of Uganda logo then copyright ain't a problem.

I'd be amused to see if something like that would work (though maybe less so if you had to pay up a tenner even if they reject it).

That's incorrect because you'd still need the written permission from the bank

Not if it were a photo which happened to have the logo in the background. Copyright law is tricksy.
