Wealthy customers can now take advantage of a special banking product. The Royal Mint, together with the Mastercard payment system and Accomplish Financia, developed a gold card for them.
The issuance of the first precious metal card, according to Mint Executive Director Ann Jessop, is associated with "growing consumer demand for unique and luxurious payment cards."
Cardholders of this debit card will have access to not only standard, but also advanced functions. For example, a zero percent when conducting currency exchange operations or a round-the-clock concierge service for traveling.
"A pure gold payment card is designed for those who want access to exclusive (banking) privileges ... and for those who value high-quality luxury goods that can make themselves known," the Royal Mint said in a statement.
