WHAT WE DO?

  • In summary, we transform standard plastic Debit/Credit, or Bank Cards into elegant metal cards made from either stainless steel or 24K gold-plated stainless steel.

  • Our innovative process involves transferring the chip from your existing plastic card to the new metal card, a technology that is soon to be patented. Additionally, we migrate the data from your magnetic strip to the metal card.

  • If you opt for a Full Custom Card, you can personalize every aspect of the card's front design. Since it is your card, you have the freedom to create a design that reflects your style. Our team is available to assist you with the design process; simply place your order and reach out to us at help@labrats.in to discuss your ideas.

  • The resulting metal card will be fully functional, supporting both swipe and chip transactions, although it will not include the tap and pay (NFC) capability. However, you can conveniently use Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay on your smartphone for contactless payments if desired.

HOW WE MAKE IT HAPPEN?

  • To obtain a fully operational metal card, you'll need to send us your current plastic card. We will then migrate all the information from your old card to the new metal one. Our advanced machines ensure a secure transfer of data from the magnetic strip to the metal card.

  • Additionally, we will utilize our proprietary technology, which is pending patent approval, to safely extract the chip from your original card and install it onto your new metal card. Once the process is complete, we will return your original card along with your customized luxury metal card.

  • Please keep in mind that after we remove the chip from your plastic card, it will no longer function as before. You will only be able to swipe it, while your new metal credit card will serve as your primary card.

DOES IT WORK ON ATM MACHINES AND EVERYWHERE ELSE?

  • Yes, your new luxury metal card does work in ATM machines and everywhere else. But just like any other metal card it is not really recommended to use these cards in ATM machines or any machine that requires the full insertion of the card into the reader. Due to the metal cards being heavier than plastic cards, some full insertion machine’s rollers may be too stiff to eject the card. It's better if you only use part insertion devices, where you can always see part of the card, in order to remove it manually.

  • Some ATM also support NFC. You can setup your smartphone to use the contactless (NFC) feature (Apple Pay, Google Play, Samsung Pay, etc...) to withdraw money at ATM machines.

  • Your metal card should work every where your plastic card works. Since the only difference now is the housing for the chip. It is no longer sitting in your plastic card but on a metal one. Your card is the chip and not the plastic around it.

DOES THE TAP AND PAY FUNCTION (NFC) STILL WORK?

  • No, it will not. But you can always use your smartphone to enable “tap and pay” (NFC) with your phone if this is something that you would like to keep. You can use apps like Apple Pay, Google Play, Samsung Pay, etc. for this.

  • The tap and pay (contactless) feature is very tricky. The premium metal we use will be blocking the frequency emitted from the chip and may not be able to register at the POS machine.

  • We are still researching on a technology to enable the transfer of “tap and pay” functionality. At this time we do not have one.

DOES THE MAGNETIC STRIP WORK?

  • Yes, we securely transfer the data from your plastic card over to the metal card by using our state of the art machines. Your card data will never be stored on our systems.

  • You can be sure that we tested the magnetic strip before sending you the new metal card.

TOTAL SECURE PROCESS

  • LabRats take the utmost care of your financial safety. You can also temporary ‘freeze’ your card in your online banking dashboard before shipping it to us. Our equipment does not store any personal data, it simply transfers from A to B. 

  • We have spent thousands of Dollars to create this amazing business focusing primarily on longevity, quality of service and security. We are here to help people by making the world's best custom luxury cards for everyone and not stealing information (jail is not on our bucket list).

  • Our website is encrypted with a strong SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and we use secure and regulated payment provider.

  • We will never ask for your card PIN. However, if you are still concerned, you do have the option to send a card with zero monetary funds available. Or a card that has not been activated or freeze your card during the time we process your order.

HOW LONG DOES THE PROCESS TAKE?

Send us your plastic card and we will notify you once we received it. We recommend sending this Express so you can always track it online and avoid any delays. Once received we will begin the production of your new custom luxury metal card and it will be ready for postage within 2-4 days. We will send both your cards new and old back to you. One-way shipping from us to you is already included in the price.

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY CARD IS LOST OR STOLEN?

WHAT WE ARE NOT
