Cool little card

Hey guys not relevant at all but i wanted to share my new newcomer card.

 

It is my fave one in quality card construction (I don't have the Amex Plat), it has silver edges and it's seems better constructed and feels in hand more weighty than my Citi Prestige. My Prestige which i like the design better feels less sturdy. What i like best out of this card and what i really like is the detail on the Visa logo, the Visa logo is engraved with thin lines inside and it sort of looks identical to the UBS Visa credit card.

 

This card is from a German startup called Vivid Money. It only has my name printed on the front which i took it away, silver magstripe and the Visa hologram on the back. No numbers ala trying to follow Apple Card steps but the best part of all is that it was free Smiley Happy. Not as good as a credit card but it certainly looks a little bit more nicer than my standard EU Debit cards. I'm currently temporarly using it as my daily debit card for the unusual instances that i don't use my US credit cards. 

 

Not afiliated, not trying market this startup, just curious and wanted to share.

No, it is available for German market at the moment only. When doing the video verification which was lenthy i had to show several pages of my EU passport. You could use it in the US if you have an EU passport/residence permit and have a mailing address to be sent to in Germany, then forward the card as i did to Spain. The card is sorta like Revolut that it is a multicurrency thing... but i just don't see this practical to use it regularly all the time in the USA. Plus, i am more partial to credit cards and all of the benefits instead of debit.. but as i'm here in Europe atm. 

 

I thought i was going to get booted out or something because i don't have a German passport but it worked with my Italian so i think by law all EU passports should work.

I thought the card was going to be more vibrant purple like the one on the site, which i really liked that hue but its more of dark purple. Anyways it looks nice and not much of a big deal for me.

Yep, it feels like it weights more in my hand than my 18g Citi Prestige. I would guess it's around 20grams.. I don't have a scale but in due time i'll figure out it's weight. I don't know if its possible that both weight 18g but the Vivid one feels more weighty in hand than my 18g Prestige.. so i would guess it is probably a little bit heavier than 18g. 

 

Revolut, N26 and all of this EU fintechs make their metal card. Not sure about the finish of those compared to this one but imho per pics and what i have seen this one is finished a notch nicer.
