Picking your own image for your debit card is a great way to offer a personalized touch. However, you should be aware that there are a few guidelines. Here’s how to choose that perfect image that won’t get rejected:

• Choose something personal to you

You’ll be seeing your card every time you use it, so choose an image that makes you smile. You might consider a family picture, a snapshot of your beloved pet, or a panorama of somewhere beautiful you’d love to visit.

• But not too personal

Never include any written personal information in your image, such as your address, phone number, or email.

• Avoid copyrighted content

You need to make sure you have permission to use the image you choose. Avoid pictures of celebrities, brand logos, sports teams, or cartoon characters unless you have the rights to them.

• Avoid potentially offensive content

By the same token, you should avoid any potentially troubling content, including political statements, racially offensive material, or sexually explicit images.
