This is designing cards for all Kiwi
Our cards reflect our brand, who we are and what we stand for, as well as providing features for improved functionality and accessibility. We have different designs for all personal and business Visa debit, Visa credit and EFTPOS cards.
Visa debit card designs
Credit card designs
The card designs incorporate interpretations of a Harakeke leaf, our visual expression of the concept of thriving, reaching for the sun, alive, folding and twisting. In Te Ao Māori, a pā of Harakeke symbolise a thriving whānau and community. Find out more about our brand.
There are different Visa debit card designs to choose from – just take your pick. The Rainbow design features Te Kahukura Kāpuia, as a symbol of the pride we have in our Rainbow Community. Kahukura references ‘multicoloured’ and Kāpuia references ‘to gather or unite as one’. Our cards are a reflection of our inclusive culture, giving you the choice to stand with us in what we believe in.

Cards that reflect you
The debit card design comes in different colourways so you can choose the card that suits you best – Harakeke Green, Night Sky, Dusk and Rainbow.
When you'll receive your new card
To ensure we don't contribute to excessive plastic waste, you can continue to use your existing card in our previous designs until it expires, then you'll be sent a replacement card in our new designs. By default we'll be sending out the Harakeke green card when your Visa debit card expires. However, if you need to order a new Visa debit card within the mobile app or internet banking, you'll be able to choose your design.
