That card looks nice but only for children's account for now, wonder how long before all accounts get new card design maybe Lloyds will do the same as well

Halifax is the the group's 'challenger brand' and trying to compete with Monzo / Starling. Doesn't mean that Lloyds or BOS will follow suit as they're more conservative in market positioning. 

Is it? I've never heard anyone refer to Halifax as that.

Is it really? I’ve never heard anyone call it a “challenger brand”!!

I wouldn’t even think of it as a challenger brand as it’s just like any other high street bank and equally as backward compared to the likes of Monzo and Starling, Revolut to name just a few.

Obviously ten years old and just their view (although there’s no official definition of what a challenger brand is)

I hope not, I like the existing Lloyds debit card designs.

If lloyds do new cards then they gotta make them good, I am sure most banks will change them soon

Lloyds debit card is already good.  All banks redesign their cards from time to time, but Lloyds have just launched a Cashback credit card, and the only difference to their existing credit card is the colour, -it's grey rather than green.  That doesn't indicate to me that they're planning to change their card designs any time soon.

The only one of Lloyds I ever hated was this one.

I hated that design too. It became out of date the minute the Olympics was over.

I would say Halifax / Lloyds are the best of the dinosaur banks.
Their online banking is way ahead of HSBC, NatWest, Nationwide... not sure about Santander and Barclays as I've never had current accounts with them.

I find Lloyds & Halifax online Banking easier than Barclays but find Barclays app is just as good a Lloyds & Halifax App, 

Hope most banks changer their debit/MasterCard designs to incorporate it without the magnetic strip see what happens
