When you go for card customization, it converts you card credit or debit into a metal card. Most of those who go for card customization get it converted into steel. Once converted you will have a fully functional credit card of metal. It will not just increase its durability but will also make it look good.
Customization Process
If you want to have a fully functional designer metal card, you will have to send it to the customizing company. All the data from the credit card is then transferred from the old card to the new metal card. In fact, the data contained in a magnetic strip along with EMV chip is transferred to the new card. There are only very few companies that can do the customization and that it is not so simple to be executed by just any of the companies. You must take this thing into account that once the EMV chip is removed from the account, the old card is no longer functional. You may be able to swipe it, but it will not have any effect. In fact, you may have the option of not removing the EMV chip, but you must remember, without the EMV chip, the is good only on those machines where it may be swiped. It becomes useless in those machines where it has to be inserted.
Extent Of Customization
Everything on the card can be customized including the name, and you are free to get the card designed in the way you want. Many design options may be available, and you are free to choose those designs that look good to you.
Safety Concerns
While it may be appropriate to be concerned about the safety of the card, but the companies who are in the business of customization are in the business to serve their customers and not to steal the data of the customers. As the service is unique and relates to money so the concerns may be right but when you go for the customizations, only the data is transferred from one card to other and with the best intentions of providing the customer with a product that they will cherish for long.
Wrapping Up
Custom made credit cards look perfect and if you want some unique to flaunt amongst your friends.
