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

        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.

      Yeah, it’s a travesty :/

      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
