Charli XCX’s Brat Card is released as a limited-edition Cash App Visa card produced in partnership with Cash App and A24, bringing a fictional card from the mockumentary The Moment into a tangible product. The limited-edition Brat Card mirrors the on-screen design from the film and will be available exclusively through the Cash App mobile application starting February 25. The card is priced at $5 and is issued by Sutton Bank as a prepaid debit card with Visa functionality.
The card design is inspired by the fictional banking partnership depicted in The Moment, in which the Brat Card appears with a distinctive green colour and Howard Stirling bank logo. Cardholders unlock a custom Brat-themed payment pad within the Cash App and receive cash back offers and access to concert presale opportunities. The release follows fan demand for a real version after a limited-edition mock replica sold out quickly.
