I wonder if more banks will add new cards like this E.G Barclays Lloyd's etc

Natwest and RBS have had the notch and braille card for a while, recent Halifax credit card has the notch, First Direct Mastercard debit card has the notch and the braille dots.

I think there must be some big push by the RNIB as it seems lots of banks and credit card company's are now adding these features which really should have been done a long time ago.

Banks have been producing more accessible items for a while  - it's just that they were provided on request and not as part of their standard offering.

Hopefully Lloyds will add that notch card soon and Barclays as well

I was expecting something more akin to TSB's recent offerings but have to say I'm not really impressed - it's not an improvement on the current design. Looks very cluttered. My account is a FlexBasic though, so I'll be interested to see that one.

Barclays already provide high visibility debit cards, with a notch, on demand.

Lloyds new Cashback Credit Card has a notch, so they may be planning to introduce it to debit cards eventually.

thanks for that would like Barclays to include the notch on all their cards

It doesn't look as cluttered in real life as it seems to in those images (which I think are mine posted elsewhere). The white boxes to hide the information don't help either.

I think it is a large improvement. The card isn't shiny anymore and I think it looks less outdated (the house design wasn't my favourite thing for a card design). The blue is a lot nicer as well imo. The "Building Society, Nationwide" in the middle looks very nice but is hard to get across in a photo.

This is it from Apple Pay 👍

I personally quite like it 😎

I would say it looks even better in person. The blue is very nice and the way they've written "Building society, nationwide" is in a way that it doesn't stand out too much to be a distraction, but it is still clear to read. As I said above, the back doesn't look as cluttered as it does in the photos above and everything works well alongside each other.
