Hmm, it "represents all things quintessentially British" and yet is a "hideous monstrosity".EarthBoy said:
That "hideous monstrosity' was designed by Sir Terence Conran and represents all things quintessentially British:quirkydeptless said:Lightning360 said:My least favourite is the Halifax one.For the worst one, M&S get my vote, who came up with this hidious monstrosity? :

Maybe Sir Terry was testing the client to see how bad a design he could get away?
Or maybe he was just being metaphorical?

This is not investment advice.
Your money may go "down and up and down and up and down and up and down ... down and up and down and up and down and up and down ... I got all tricked up and came up to this thing, lookin' so fire hot, a twenty out of ten..."1 -

@kipsterno1 you might want to remove/block out your name from the image.
Here's my favourite. Barclays lets you personalize your card. I have a very similar one - for my card I used a photo that I took when holidaying.
I also liked the transparent card from N26. I might still have it somewhere in a drawer.

I'm not really a fan of actual images on bank cards for some reason. Some will look good, however, I think most will look a bit rubbish.couth said:@kipsterno1 you might want to remove/block out your name from the image.

I generally don’t care about what a card looks like but I do like my curve metal card as it’s a simple and clean looking card, and has my other cards stored on it so I don’t need to carry them all in my wallet (though can’t add Amex to it).
Time is a path from the past to the future and back again. The present is the crossroads of both. :cool:0
