Maybe Apple Card 2.0 will have a "dark mode" version...

I have one of the matte black Cash App cards[1] that I use exclusively at festivals, sports events and all of my online subscription services. Basically it’s the card for ‘fun stuff’.

Been about 4 months of use, it’s held up incredibly well plus looks striking with the gold, raised embossed lettering of my “signature” (quotes here because I drew my name rather stylized versus using my regular John Hancock) and frequently gets positive inquiry from merchants “nice card what bank is this from?”

A space grey version would be pretty slick.

check revolut, their metal plan has Grey metal card option.

Two major differences though:

- monthly fee

- it is a debit card AFAIK

Pay money for someone to hold my money in exchange for a cool looking card to access my money. Hard pass.

With any bank you're paying them to hold your money - it's just hidden in interest rates or other fees.

Of course it is not as simple as that, you could check the benefits you get from (Including recently launched zero commission trading) https://www.revolut.com/en-US/our-pricing-plans

Still, I would agree that the fee is not worth what you get.

When you say trading is this with regards to currency conversion?

No, I mean robinhood-style stock trading(Currently only some US stocks AFAIK): https://blog.revolut.com/trading-revolut/

They launched it recently for EU, US and AU IIRC.
