Ooh, today is new bank card day. They sent it with priority, so that’s nice.
What’s not nice is this new design. Previously I had a nice white one, with tasteful colour splashed around, and the numbers and my name hard pressed into it, but they’ve changed to an obnoxious yellow front, with nothing on it except a chip and a logo, then the back has all of my info on it. And it’s not pressed into the card anymore, it’s just written on, like a Myki card :(
My UBank card is similar, but they still made it look nice. This CommBank one looks like someone told a 4 year old to redesign it for a cuppa chup. Also it’s vertical. Why would I want a vertical card. It’s not fucking tickrock
But they stopped using that ages ago, I thought it was all about the lovely tactile feeling and being able to differentiate your credit card from all the other cards…
There’s different cut outs on the narrow end for different types of cards. Half moons, triangles etc. Can’t think what as I don’t actually have a credit card as such. My eftpos card has a half moon.

Commbank? I’m with a subsidiary and my new card was the same :( what happened to embossed text after decades of it
Yeah, it’s a travesty :/

No longer using those roller arrangements to process a transaction, so the raised text is not required. Chip does all that now.

It got enshittified. :(
Yeah the new CommBank cards are not it. They look tacky imo
Edit: just read on about the chip thing maybe being behind lack of embossing. Makes sense
100%. They look horrible
