The rise of the metal bank card - and why the likes of Monzo and Revolut have become obsessed

After years of peddling brightly coloured plastic cards, digital banking start-ups have upped their game and turned to a new way to generate hype: metal bank cards

Monzo is preparing to release its own metal card in the coming months, a controversial decision which kickstarted days of debate online over how much the firm will charge customers for the privilege of using the card.

An early experiment of charging a £90 upfront cost has been ditched, and the start-up is now planning to charge around £7.50 a month for 12 months.
