Whether you’re dressing in style or expressing yourself through accessories, you can add another custom touch to your ensemble with a personalized credit card.
A growing number of credit and debit card companies are allowing their most stylish customers to choose from a variety of trendy designs or customize their credit cards by uploading their own photos.
Here are some of the leading credit and debit card issuers that allow customers to have fun with their card designs:
discover
Discover is a leading credit card issuer that offers extensive customization options. There are over 150 different card designs to choose from, depending on which card you have.
You can personalize your map with Discover for free. All you have to do is sign in to your account and click Services, then Manage Map and Devices, and then New Map Design. Wait three to seven days to receive your shiny new card in the mail.
Wells Fargo
Wells Fargo also allows customers to personalize their credit cards. But instead of being limited to choosing existing designs, they can customize the look of their cards by uploading photos or submitting designs they have created themselves.
Depending on how creative you feel, you can submit a photo of your dog, upload your own pen and ink drawing, or add your company logo. You can even send a photo of yourself as an identity protection tool, making it harder for a thief to use your card personally.
Wells Fargo spokeswoman Sarah Dubois said the ability to personalize cards with custom images is popular with customers. Since 2009, “more than 8 million cardholders have customized the look of their cards with the Card Design Studio service.” Wells Fargo also offers a library of images from which you can personalize your card.
american express
If you have an American Express card, such as The Platinum Card® by American Express, you can choose a custom design. This year alone, Amex has released two new card designs for Platinum Card holders. See if your map can be customized and you might be in for a fun surprise.
Chase Disney Visa Card
You can’t set up most Chase or Visa credit cards, but Mickey Mouse fans are in luck. Choose from a variety of images of your favorite Disney characters to be the stars of your Chase* Disney Visa Card. From Tinkerbell to the cast of Toy Story, from Baby Yoda to Mickey Mouse, you can keep your favorite character in your pocket.
Contact your bank or credit card issuer to find out what they offer.
If you need a custom or semi-custom design for your credit card but aren’t sure if it’s available, just call your bank or card issuer and ask.
Some smaller banks, such as Truist and M&T Bank, also allow cardholders to create their own cards. In addition, Truist allows debit card customers to choose from a library of images depending on which style they prefer, such as “cute and trendy”, “southern style”, “american”, or “artwork”.
Your credit union may also have customization options. For example, America’s First Credit Union offers the America First’s Picture Perfect Visa card, which allows you to issue your credit card, checks, and gift cards for free. All you have to do is log in to your online banking account, upload your photo or choose from an image gallery, and then position your photo on the map however you like.
bottom line
While personalization is not a factor you should consider when choosing a credit card – low interest rates, fees and credit limits should play a big role in your decision – there is no reason why you shouldn’t use personalization options if your credit card issuer or debit card permits this. Create your own postcard and have fun creating it.
