Sony Bank Launches New Designs for WALLET and Cash Cards Featuring PEANUTS Characters

Sony Bank Unveils Refreshing Designs for WALLET and Cash Cards

Sony Bank, headquartered in Tokyo, is excited to announce its latest development: starting from March 24, 2026, new designs will be released for the Sony Bank WALLET and cash cards. The new look will prominently feature designs inspired by the iconic characters from the beloved comic series PEANUTS, including the ever-popular Snoopy. This refreshing initiative is not just about aesthetics but also ties into a broader commitment to enhancing customer experience.

Alongside the introduction of the PEANUTS designs, the Sony Bank WALLET's PlayStation® design will be updated to celebrate the 30th anniversary of PlayStation. The result is a perfect blend of nostalgia and modernity, appealing to both long-time fans and new customers.

Enhancing Accessibility with Innovative Features

In addition to the vibrant new designs, Sony Bank is taking significant steps to ensure inclusivity. The bank will introduce a card with a unique 'Touch Guide' feature specifically designed for users with visual impairments or upper limb disabilities. This card will include tactile elements that make it easier for individuals to identify the card's insertion direction and distinguish it from other cards. With this initiative, Sony Bank aims to provide greater accessibility, ensuring that all customers can use their services comfortably and confidently.

A Brief History of PEANUTS

The characters and associated intellectual properties of PEANUTS are owned by Peanuts Worldwide, comprising WildBrain with a 41% stake, Sony Music Entertainment Japan with 39%, and the family of Charles M. Schulz holding the remaining 20%. The world first got to know the PEANUTS gang in 1950 when Schulz introduced characters like Charlie Brown and Snoopy, who have since left an indelible mark on popular culture.

Today, PEANUTS continues to captivate audiences of all ages through various media channels, including the popular Apple TV shows and global merchandise. The animated adventures and special features provide numerous outlets for fans to engage with the characters they love. Notably, in 2018, PEANUTS entered into a multi-year agreement with NASA under the Space Act Agreement, aimed at inspiring future generations with a passion for space exploration and STEM education.
