Metal vs. Plastic: The Ultimate Durability Test
We ran over our Stainless Steel cards with a car. See the results and learn why metal is the ultimate protection for your banking tech.

We have all been there. You reach into your wallet to pay for dinner, pull out your debit card, and notice the plastic film is peeling off the corner. Plastic cards (PVC) were designed for cheap mass production, not longevity.
1. The Material Science
- Standard Bank Cards: Made of PVC. Flexible, cheap, degrades in UV light.
- Our Metal Cards: Crafted from 316L Surgical Grade Stainless Steel. Rigid, rust-proof, heavy.
2. The "Back Pocket" Bend Test
This is how most cards die. You sit on your wallet, the card bends, and the internal antenna breaks. Our steel cards are rigid. They do not bend under normal sitting pressure, protecting the delicate internal chip better than flexible plastic ever could.
3. The Drop Test
A plastic card flutters to the floor. A metal card drops with a thud. We dropped our steel cards from 2 meters onto concrete. Result? Zero damage to the structure, while the plastic card chipped at the corners.
The Verdict
A metal card isn't just a luxury accessory; it is a permanent housing for your financial life. If you are tired of ordering replacements every year, it's time to upgrade.
