Written by the company

SwipeMetal is a UK specialist manufacturer of custom metal cards and metal bank card conversions, transforming ordinary plastic debit and credit cards into premium engraved metal cards. We design and produce fully functional contactless metal bank cards that work with existing bank accounts, ATMs and payment terminals. Our process transfers your original chip and NFC antenna into a precision-machined stainless steel, brass, carbon or gold metal card — meaning you keep your bank while upgrading the physical card itself. Unlike subscription “premium bank accounts”, SwipeMetal provides a one-time upgrade that replaces your plastic card with a permanent luxury alternative. Each design is created in-house by our design lab and laser engraved from scratch. We also manufacture NFC metal business cards and membership cards, used by networking professionals, clubs and luxury brands to share contact details digitally and create memorable first impressions.

Hi Ivan

We’re really sorry to hear your card wasn’t as you expected. Before sending, we take photos of every card and yours left us in perfect condition, so it’s possible any marks may have happened during transit. That said, we truly apologise if it arrived less than perfect. Please reach out to us to claim under the Warranty policy should this be needed.

We’ve also checked your order and it didn’t include the contactless upgrade - this is an optional feature at checkout and depends on the compatibility of the original card.

We take a lot of pride in the quality of our cards and the service we provide, and we’re always here if you have any questions or need help in the future.

Avoid

Update: “I believe we have had a review on TrustPilot relating to this order so the agreed refund has now been placed on hold.”
How nice of them.

Not recommended, based on my experience: I sent my card to create an NFC-compatible card; they promised a 90%+ success rate. After more than 2 months, I received my "tested" card, but the NFC does not work on it. I told them if the NFC is not working, I don't need the card. However, I kept my card, but I am not happy with it. I am also waiting for my compensation refund, but I have not received it yet (1 week now). Avoid them if you don't want to waste your money and time.

Hi Gab,

Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We’d like to clarify that your card was produced successfully and is fully functional, though not Contactless-compatible. As outlined in our compatibility policy on our website, not all cards can be made contactless, due to varied chip types across banks. In cases where compatibility isn’t possible, we always offer either a full refund of the contactless upgrade fee or the option to send an alternative card for processing.

Because your customised metal card was produced and works as intended, we’re unable to refund the base product itself. However, our team will ensure the contactless upgrade fee is refunded, and we’re here to help should you wish to proceed with an alternative card for NFC transfer.

We appreciate your understanding and remain available to resolve this directly.

Swipe Right for Swipe Metal

From the ease of site use my order was issued nice and quick.
The communication was so prompt and professional.
The delivery was within one week and the packaging was just what you'd expect for such a high quality item.

The finish is detailed and it looks great in my Nano wallet.

Great that I could choose to remove all the details that would usually be on a bank card.

So far they have had my card for 3…

An update, the card arrived, however, be aware it will not take a few days, it will take weeks. If that works for you, then it's OK. The card looked very good, however, did not get contactless, apparently I did not order that, but the card is of a good quality.

Hi Simon,

Thank you for the great feedback — we’re really glad to hear you’re enjoying the quality of your card!

Regarding contactless, we’re working hard in the background to widen compatibility across different chip types and are excited about the developments in the pipeline. I’ve asked one of our team to get back in touch with you once this becomes more widely supported.

Customer service is on point, but NFC doesn't work

Customer service is on point, they're super helpful, friendly and responsive.
To anyone worried about sending their card out, they're extremely professional, reliable and operate with integrity- at no point was I worried about anything happening to my card.

Unfortunately though, the NFC doesn't work, however thats a problem with my chip not responding to the antenna correctly, so double check with them that your chip is compatible before choosing the NFC option. The chip and pin works fine when inserted, it's just NFC that may not work depending on your chip type.
Overall, a very enjoyable experience and would recommend to all, however just make sure your chip is compatible with NFC beforehand.

Hi Abdullah,

Thank you so much for your kind words about our service - we’re really glad to hear you felt supported and confident throughout the process.

You’re absolutely right that contactless compatibility can vary depending on the chip type, and we always encourage customers to double check this with us beforehand. Our team continues to work on expanding support across more chip types, and we hope to make contactless available to an even wider range of cards soon.

We’re delighted you’re happy overall with the card and experience, and really appreciate your recommendation.

Couldn't be happier!

Swipe Metal took my plain, forgettable debit card and turned it into a genuine conversation starter. Their luxury metal cards are sleek, brilliantly designed, and feel just as premium as they look. Every detail reflects quality, from the weight in your hand to the eye-catching finish. Plus, their customer service? Spot on—fast, friendly, and super helpful throughout the entire process. I’ve never been more excited to pull out my card at dinner.

Surprised by the service

Took a bit longer to arrive than I thought, and I was a little hesitant after seeing some reviews. But it turned out better than expected. Quality of the card is solid and feels premium, service was smooth, and nothing felt off at any point.

Hi Raju,

Thank you so much for your kind words — we’re really pleased to hear the card quality and service exceeded your expectations. We also appreciate your patience at the time, as there was a slight backorder which made delivery a little longer than usual.

It’s great to know you’re happy with the finished product, and we’re glad everything felt smooth once it arrived.

Cowboy outfit, do not buy

Site was very poor in trying to create a card, very glitchy, but I managed and ordered one. I received an email which was unreadable, so I sent an email asking for instructions.
A guy rang me to say I'd receive an email shortly. Never received any further communication and I've now had to open a case with my credit card to retrieve my money.

REPLY TO SWIPEMETAL:
I definitely have the correct website.
My order number was #36497. This was the only part of the confirmation email that was readable.
I've emailed you twice since your phone call and not received any response. I would ve grateful if you could refund my money at the earliest convenience, I can then close the case with my credit card provider.

I believe this order has been placed on a different website - we do not have any orders or communication regarding this.

If this is in error - please drop us an email on hello@swipemetal.co.uk so one of our team can assist.

Many thanks.

Was very sceptical due to the bad reviews but I think majority are just personal attacks on the owners or competition as I have had an excellent experience - maybe company has changed hands? Customer service has been excellent, thorough communication and order was fulfilled in sufficient time and im over the moon with my card. I love the sound it makes when you “accidentally” drop it on the floor

The company is a scam.

The company looks to be a scam.

Before even getting into my experience, it's clear that the Trust Pilot reviews they have are mostly, if not all, fake. Most accounts have only 1 review in their history, and then one of the reviewers (Hannah) has 2 reviews, both of which are for companies owned by the same people! (*Removed on request of the scamming company as they reported it to Trust Pilot* both own Swipe Metal, which is part of VentureK and *Removed on request of the scamming company* which if you look up their info via the UK gove website for their info at their reviews, is just as much a scam as Swipe Metal)

I placed my order online on the 11th of September. Sent my card the next day with 1st Class Signed for shipping, and it was received by them on 13th September.

5 Weeks later and not a whisper from them. They never acknowledged receipt of my Bank Card and the website has no way for you to look up the status of your order.

I attempted to contact them several times through the methods they provide you on the site and had no luck.

The location where they have you ship the cards is a closed-down pub which does not give me any hope that this company is legitimate by any means.

Furthermore, the people who own this company, according to gov.uk own multiple companies, all of which are registered to one of 2 addresses, and they both have a history of dissolved companies in the past, which just lowers my expectations even further of this company being legitimate.
