They allow a superior experience, be it the physical feel of the card or the extensive perks and rewards that come with it, making them the best choice for those pursuing a life of luxury and prestige.

What metal cards offer

Metal credit cards come in two distinguished forms: embedded metal and veneer metal. Embedded metal cards feature a metal layer within a traditional plastic base, offering a refined touch and enhanced durability. Veneer metal cards are crafted from metals like stainless steel.
