What is the best Debit or Credit card design?

& that is really quite something. not to be cut up and disposed of safely when it expires, i suspect.

HSBC Debit / Credit cards are nice.
Black Background with Blue /Lion (Debit card)
Black Backgound and Black Lion maybe not so much. (Credit Card)
Lloyds Debit card, black with Silver Horse and Swirl Lines looks good.

I do like the HSBC ones. Some of the colours don't work as well as others in my opinion, mostly the ones where the lion is the same colour as the background.
I'm not the greatest fan of the Lloyds ones. I just think the horse looks a bit odd to me.

The TSB have updated their credit card designs not sure if I'm keen on them though :-)

I don't like the grey ones very much. I like the black one and the student account one more, but none of them are that good. They just seem very boring and not very nice to look at.

I just got a Monzo card and I really like it. It may be extremely basic but it looks good, especially with the bright orange colour.

I think Santander Select is the best looking debit card. As for credit card, has to be the Amex (Gold / Platinum are both nice). Close second is Nationwide Member CC.

I've always coveted the Amex Rewards Blue card to be honest, absolutely beautiful piece of design.

I'm not a fan of most of the American Express cards. They all seem quite old fashioned for me.

Yet that's what I like about them. From my perspective card designs have become a little immature, Amex IMO have retained designs that look like they mean business.

That Amex Rewards Blue design is old though, you're absolutely right.

It was over 16 years ago when I first had one handed to me working as a cashier on weekends in a Dixon's store... I was doing my IT Practitioners Diploma at college at the time. I'm glad they've retained the design.

I hate the Nationwide member credit card.  It looks so cheap and nasty with that slogan splashed across it: "Building society, nationwide."  Fortunately, I've still got the Select credit card, which is nothing special, but which looks much better than the member credit card.
