Metal cards have become a status symbol in many countries.
They are strongly associated with top-of-the-line, high-value services and are perceived to reflect financial and even social success.
No surprise, metal credit cards have exploded in popularity even among millennials, who are supposed to be more opposed to credit cards.
The look and feel of metal will take your EMV cards to the next level of quality and excellence, exceeding your most valuable customer segments' expectations.
