Frequently Asked Questions
metal card conversion
For a fully functional card, we require you to send us your current plastic card. We transfer all the information from your old card to your new metal card using our cutting-edge technology. This includes your EMV chip as well as your magnetic stripe.
We will return your original card together with your newly customized metal card.
Please be aware that once we remove the EMV chip from your original plastic card, it will no longer function.
Absolutely! Your metal card is fully compatible with all ATM machines.
Additionally, you have the option to configure your smartphone for contactless transactions (such as Apple Pay or Samsung Pay) to access ATM machines. If you require assistance, a bank representative will be glad to help you with the setup.
Rest assured, your new metal card should function wherever your plastic card does. The only difference is that the EMV chip is now in the metal card instead of the plastic one.
No, the "tap to pay" feature won't be available on the metal card. However, you can leverage your smartphone's capabilities to continue using the tap to pay feature (Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc.).
We are currently in the process of exploring technology to facilitate the transfer of "tap and pay" features, but we haven't yet found a viable solution.
Implementing the tap feature on a metal card is quite complex as the antennas facilitating this feature are usually embedded within the plastic card.
