CPI’s dual interface metal cards are developed to allow the cards to overcome the design and functional limitations of conventional metal cards – helping financial institutions unlock a world of card design potential for metal cards with leading-edge contactless capability. Metal cards available from CPI can feature many of the design treatments available on plastic, such as high definition printing and spot gloss, without having to sacrifice the weight and gravity of a metal component. In addition, CPI’s dual interface metal cards offer multi-directional contactless read-ranges with the ability to communicate with a payment reader regardless of how the card is held, maintaining consumer convenience and a frictionless transaction at the point-of-sale. For today’s financial institutions, offering cardholders the sophistication of metal and the seamlessness of contactless payment in a single card can serve as a major competitive differentiator.
