Strange notch. Natwest Group credit cards look awful, hope they are changed soon.

They seem to be bringing the entire brand in-line with Natwest, makes some sense for the debit cards to be included in that.Hopefully Child's and Drummond's continue to have their own.Ordered a replacement card in any case. If it’s the new one I may also replace Child’s and Drummond just to test.0

How many branches of RBS in England were done up in 2016-2019? A fair few, and now they're all gone - not just no longer present/up to date; gone, useless investments.1

In large companies it's very common for one hand to not know/care what the other hand is doing, so I can easily see how a project to refresh the RBS cards could happen just before a wider group project to harmonise the brands is kicked off.2 -
Replacement card is a shed in Apple Pay so…0

Companies often find it useful to retain brands - look at how many brands on the high street are owned by just a few huge companies, yet they've kept the brand names. It can make commercial sense.

To be honest I prefer the beach hut, so I'm in no rush to get a new card, lol.

Yes indeed, normally dot patterns are used to differentiate tho, never seen a differently shaped notch (although I can imagine it's much easier to feel the difference).
