Merrill+ Card
This product ships as a metal card only. To make it functional you transfer the chip from your own bank card, following our free tutorial video. It takes about five minutes and we never take possession of your original card.
Customization:
You can customize this card with your name and details. After you place an order, we will send you a form for the engraved info. This info can be fake or real. It doesn't affect functionality. All functionality is done by chip. Any engraved customization info you provide will be engraved with laser and will be permanent.
Guaranteed Safe Checkout
Merrill+ Card
How it works
Three steps. Nothing is engraved until you approve it.
Pick your design and order
Choose the finish you want above and check out. That is the only part that needs doing today.
Approve your free proof
We email you a short form for the details you want engraved, then send back a proof within 24 hours. If it is not right, we change it. Nothing is cut until you say yes.
Move your chip across
Your card arrives with a precise cut-out for your existing chip. Pop the chip out of your current card, seat it in the metal one, secure it. About five minutes, and we include a video showing exactly how.
You do the chip transfer yourself. We never take possession of your bank card, never ask for your account details, and never handle your money.
The chip transfer, start to finish.
Questions people actually ask
Straight answers. If yours is not here, message us before you order.
Is this a real bank card?+
No. It is an original tribute design inspired by an iconic card aesthetic, and it is not issued by or affiliated with any bank. It has no account, credit line or balance of its own.
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. If tap-to-pay matters to you, choose one of our dedicated Tap to Pay cards, which are built with a plastic back panel and an integrated antenna.
Do you keep my original card?+
Never. You transfer the chip yourself at home — your original card never leaves your hands.
Why is the magnetic stripe not programmed?+
That is deliberate, as a security feature. Magnetic stripes are the easiest part of a card to clone, so we leave ours unprogrammed.
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.
Three centuries of standing for something
The world's great banking names were not built on marketing. They were built on time, discretion and doing one thing extremely well. This design is a tribute to that.
-
01
The name
Recognised instantly by anyone who moves in finance — and quietly ignored by everyone else. That is the point.
-
02
The material
Solid stainless steel, cut to standard card dimensions. The weight is the first thing people notice.
-
03
The engraving
Laser-etched detail that stays crisp for years — never printed, never coated, never peeling.
-
04
The proof
We send a free digital proof before production. Nothing gets made until you approve it.
Every card is laser-engraved and finished by hand.
Real prestige has never needed to introduce itself.
Built like the real thing. Heavier, actually.
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.
Carried in 26 countries
Bankers, founders, investors and collectors — the people who notice details everyone else misses.
The weight is the thing. People pick it up off the table and go quiet for a second.
Chip transfer took me five minutes with the tutorial. Works at every terminal I have tried.
The proof they sent before engraving was exactly what arrived. No surprises.
Ready to make the switch?
Pick your finish, approve a free proof, and move your chip across at home. No bank visit, no risk to your existing card.
