My latest CC from Westpac is not embossed at all, and isn't covered with a printed film. No more peeling card!
It has two small raised dots. And a notch at one end. Which I assume are for blind people.
This is from 2012, and at least in Canada, they are disappearing - the front of the cards are just branding, chip, and nfc icon.
Hmm. I just got new cards from 3 different chartered banks since last summer. Will say that silver on the numbers of all of them is just about worn off
I wish mine still was. I'm a filthy landscaper and all the print on my cards inevitably wear off.
