    I guess soon cards won't be around, it will be all virtual. I suspect in five years, you may have to request a card, and instead they will have some kind of electronic delivery to your phone as default. Some Micky Mouse banks already do it.


    Which banks do it?
    Revolut

    If you’ve ever lost your bank card, you’ll know how annoying it is to sift through your accounts for online purchases and update your card details.
    Now, you can generate an impossible-to-lose Revolut's virtual card and use it for all of your online payments (Uber, Deliveroo etc.). You’ll never have this problem again!
    Update to the latest version of our iOS and Android App to use this feature. To order a spare Revolut card, go to the ‘Card’ section of the App and swipe left on your virtual Revolut card.


    Revolut is not a bank, and does not have FSCS protection.

    Just opened another Classic Plus (as you do) 
    You don't mention it but presumably you applied via Quidco?

    This is no different from using googlepay or the like. I linked my Monzo card to googlepay and, when paying with my phone, it uses a 'virtual' card with a different number. 
    I came into this world with nothing and I've got most of it left.

    I did say it was a Mickey Mouse bank. ie not a bank. But the big five banks are playing catch up now.

    That's not a bank! It's an e-money thing! Like PayPal essentially. 
    Mickey Mouse bank

    Nevertheless, it gives you a virtual card which can be used as a norma card would be.

    It's not even a Mickey Mouse bank as it is not a bank at all.
