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.

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. The Harakeke green card is the default design you'll receive unless you choose a different design. 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.
