RBS have been flat for some time but their version retains the card details on the front except the 3 digit CVV2 like embossed cards.

That Lloyds one seems to be the best of the sideways cards as the Lloyds will show when it's in your wallet and when you take it out the chip will be at the front ready for a chip and pin machine.

Received a new debit card from Lloyds two days ago. Very disappointed to see that it's still the old style design.

Not a fan of this shift to the new flat design at all, I found the embossed numbers on the front much more helpful than the flat design with everything on the back.

I believe NatWest do (or at least previously did) continue to offer embossed ones for people who wanted them after they made the change. I was quite disappointed to find Halifax do not offer this when I requested one on accessibility grounds, as that’s the only bank who’s debit card I have much reason to use.
