Yes, please. This design looks great 😍😭

The black card design 🙌🙌

@Tijnie#35018 Niet alleen voor de mastercards, maar ook voor de maestro.

When a british mobile bank (I think you know which one I mean) launched their metal debit card, I ordered it on day one.
And it's true, it really feels and looks amazing. For a few months I used it nearly every day. But over time (and after the apple pay start in Germany) I switched more and more to paying with apple pay. Now my nice (and expensive) premium card sits in my wallet and is almost never used anymore.
I think the future is in mobile devices. Why carry an extra card if the device a always carry around can do the same? All I need my physical card for most of the time is to withdraw cash 1-3 times a month for the places which dont accept card payment. I barely ever encounter terminals with mastercard acceptance but without contactless. For these rare events I dont need a special card, especially if its bad for the environment.

A real credit card on the other hand (I know what bunq thinks about credit, but on the other hand we have personal lending in "freedom of choice" - so who knows what the future will bring) would be a whole different deal. Here I would really be interested in a premium product with cool features and made from cool materials like metal or something even more cooler I dont even think about. A premium credit card still is a statement, a premium debit card is just pretending.

🎉💪👏

Für mich persönlich:

Einfach und klar nein.

Die vorhandenen Karten sind gut genug, und ich schätze viele sind wegen der Option Apple Pay (oder generell wegen bezahlen per Smartphone) zu Bunq gewechselt. Weswegen dann eine Metallkarte? Ich persönlich hab die Karten bestellt und seit dem „verstauben“ die in meiner Schublade weil ich sie bisher noch nie gebraucht habe.

@Emmo#82827 Most aren’t lucky enough to be in a country where Apple Pay is supported by bunq 😕

@Emmo#82827 Agreed.

Though I do agree the design of the bunq card could be a bit more subtle, I don’t see the value of a metal card at all.

I believe @Ali already wrote that he thinks it is a bad idea because of the way it will affect the environment. I agree. If you want to be a ‘green bank’, you should produce as less plastic stuff as possible.

Also, I have a Mastercard and a maestro from bunq. Now, let’s be honest, I’ll use Mastercard only on travel. It’s a card that will never see much daylight. And so will be the metal card. The current card is good enough and I don’t see a reason to change that.

Ce serait bien une carte métal avec les info de la carte quand tu veux acheter il faut les 16 chiffres de la carte sur la carte

@DaveFlash#61160 And wearables dont generate waste? You do realize cellphones are maybe 1.000 times worse then a metal card...for the environment

@Dennis-Lime-Panther#82891 You do realize that if you already have a cellphone it doesn’t generate any extra waste?

A cellphone + card is more waste than just a cellphone...

@JeroenE#82895 I wouldn't buy a bunq Metal card either, but why even this discussion about the environment? If you don't like to use it, just don't buy a bunq Metal Card if it gets available and if someone wants a bunq Metal Card he can order one.. that simple. Let people choose, don't take the choices away just because you don't like it.

@johannes#82932 Heb je misschien op het verkeerde bericht gereageerd? Ik schrijf nergens dat hij geen metaal mag kiezen vanwege het milieu. Ik vraag me alleen af waarom je een metalen credit kaart wel zou gebruiken als je toch alles al met je telefoon betaalt.

@Michiel#82924 I'm just pointing out the irony of saving such a minor thing, over finding completly acceptable for anyone to have such a unfriendly environmental device.

@JeroenE#82937 Sry but the Google Translator is very bad from Dutch to German.

@johannes#82939 Bunq vind het goed genoeg, dus we zullen het er mee moeten doen helaas.
