Japanese Samurai
A card that says something about you
Your bank picked your card for you, and it says nothing. This one is your choice — and it starts a conversation before you open your mouth.
-
01
Pick the one that's actually you
Over a hundred designs — crypto, wealth, playing cards, dragons, anime, cars, fine art. Nobody else in the room will have it.
-
02
Choose your finish
Black, gold, brass, carbon fibre, brushed and mirror. The same design reads completely differently in each.
-
03
We engrave it into steel
Laser-etched and hand-finished, so the detail stays crisp for years. Never printed, never coated.
-
04
The conversation starts itself
Set it down to pay and someone always asks. That is the entire point of carrying one.
Every card is laser-engraved and finished by hand.
The smallest thing in your wallet. The first thing people notice.
Solid steel. Not a sticker, not a skin.
Never coated plastic. Every Solaris card is cut from solid stainless steel, then individually laser-engraved and hand-finished.
Weight varies slightly by finish. Brass editions are heavier than stainless steel.
How it becomes a working card
Your card ships without a chip. You move the chip across from your own bank card in about five minutes — we never take possession of your original.
Order and approve your proof
Choose your design and finish. We send a free digital proof — nothing is engraved until you say yes.
We engrave and ship
Your card is laser-engraved into solid steel and shipped discreetly with tracking, worldwide.
Transfer your own chip
Follow our free tutorial to move the chip from your existing bank card across. It takes about five minutes.
Pay by chip insert, worldwide
It now works at any terminal or ATM that takes chip and insert. Note: solid metal blocks NFC, so tap-to-pay is not supported — choose a Tap to Pay card if you need contactless.
What this is — and what it isn't
This is an original tribute design on a decorative metal card. It is not a real bank card, it is not issued by any financial institution, and it carries no credit line, account or balance of its own.
It becomes spendable only when you install the chip from your own existing bank card. The money, the account and the bank relationship all remain entirely yours.

Carried in 26 countries
Collectors, creators, gamers, petrolheads and people who simply refuse to carry beige.
Handed it over to pay and the waiter actually stopped to look at it. Worth it for that alone.
Chip transfer took five minutes with the tutorial. Works at every terminal I have tried.
The detail in the etching is unreal up close. Best gift I have given anyone.
Questions people actually ask
Straight answers. If yours is not here, message us before you order.
Can I actually pay with it?+
Yes — once you install the chip from your own bank card using our free tutorial. It takes about five minutes, and it then works for chip-and-insert payments at terminals and ATMs worldwide.
Does it tap to pay?+
No. Solid metal blocks the NFC signal, so contactless is not supported on full-metal cards. Choose one of our dedicated Tap to Pay cards if you need contactless.
Do you keep my original card?+
Never. You transfer the chip yourself at home — your original card never leaves your hands.
Is this an official or licensed product?+
No. Every design is an original tribute inspired by popular culture and iconic imagery. It is not licensed by or affiliated with any brand, studio or rights holder.
Which finish should I pick?+
Mirror and brushed finishes show fine etching best. Brass reads warm and vintage. Black and carbon fibre are the most understated. Gold is the loudest.
Will it fit my wallet?+
Yes. Every card uses standard credit-card dimensions, so it drops into any wallet or cardholder.
How long does shipping take?+
We ship discreetly worldwide with tracking, typically within 12–14 days. You will get a free digital proof to approve before anything is engraved.
Still unsure? Ask us first — we would rather answer a question than process a return.
