Metal Credit Cards

The 'N26 Metal' Card Offers Great Benefits and a Durable Form

Considering the financial power embedded in credit cards, they're often made out of surprisingly flimsy plastic, so the N26 Metal card is giving the credit where credit is due. The card is made out of slim, durable metal, giving it a physical feel that's in line with its financial capabilities.

The original N26 Metal card had a tungsten core with a plastic casing overtop, but the new model is made out of metal alone. The Mastercard logo is engraved on the front of the card, and the cardholder's name is engraved on the back.

Beyond aesthetics, the N26 Metal gives holders access to N26 Black benefits, which include things like a WeWork membership and discounts at Hotels.com, among others.
