My New Nationwide Debit Card

My old card passed away and had a fault, so I asked for a new one.

I received the new one a couple of days ago and surprisingly, it is much easier to read.

Is this just Nationwide are all cards now easier to read?

  1. On the front, my new M&S credit card only has the word “M&S”, the red/orange circles logo, the word “Credit” and the WiFi logo. My Barclays debit card is even more bare, having only the white eagle logo and the word “VISA”. So yes, I think you’re right.

    Both these new cards have a shallow notch in the side opposite the chip, presumably to help unsighted people insert the card the right way round.
