Just got the new card today and what do u guys think of this design?

I'm glad they have taken the sort code of the cards it used to annoy me as it didn't have the account number

Are you saying that they are no longer putting the sort code on their debit cards?

Yes it appears they have ditched sort codes on their debit cards

Can't think why they would do that.

I have a Royal Bank of Scotland account with Child & Co. and decided to hasten the process of receiving a Mastercard debit card. I requested a new card. I haven't received it yet, but going by the new card showing in my banking app and when it is added to Apple Wallet, the new card expires in 12/25 and is exactly the same as the old one - a VISA Child & Co. branded card. Is there a chance RBS would continue using VISA debit cards with Child & Co.?

Unlikely - the agreement is to convert all cards to MC

They will either be going to replace the Child and Co cards at a later date, or are going to issue standard RBS cards to those customers.

If you've ever been to Seaton Sands holiday park in Scotland, that picture looks its taken there overlooking the sea.

I think NatWest / RBS are confused whether there cards are portrait or not

I actually prefer the vertical NatWest card.

It is fascinating that they have chosen at least two versions of a very colourful and busy design whereas First Direct have a virtually blank black debit card front.

I prefer the FD card over these messes.

I have the same design of debit card as @stclair and it has neither the sort code nor the account number anywhere on the card

I just got mine. I think this looks even worse! I’d have love to have known their thought process when signing this off? Stevie Wonder could see this was a bad design.
