Revolut, N26 and Monzo all have premium accounts with metal cards which are nothing than a status symbol. The banking industry has been doing this for years though with premium credit cards, so it's nothing new.

I don’t think it’s true that Monzo has a metal card.

You're correct, it does not. AFAIK Monzo does not have any paid tier accounts either.

The closest monzo has is an investor card for crowdfunding investors.

If we're talking metal cards by new-age pseudo-banks, there's also Crypto.com's MCO card.
I have one, and aside from how it's practically useless because I can't top up fiat into it (I currently have to do SGD>EUR>BTC>SGD just to use the card), it's also heavy.
Maybe I'm just the type of customer that they're not targeting.
Additionally they still have no accounts where I am resulting in IBAN fees.
In contrast transferwise may not support "crypto" (Revolut doesn't let you send out or in crypto making it more or less useless) but they are not trying to up sell you and they do have accounts in my country allowing for fast transfers. They don't have fancy metal cards but they have been expanding their services instead.
