Company details
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.

Worth the wait
Really happy with the quality of the card - it's definitely on the premium side. It did take over a week to get done which is longer than I expected, but to be fair they kept me updated. I was honestly impressed. It feels really solid, looks great, and works just like my normal card. Worth the wait in the end.

I purchased a metal card they…
I purchased a metal card they communicated very quickly and in a professional manner. I have actually received compliments and a great conversation starter I would recommend!
Should have been great, but was anything but
So, here is a completely open and honest review of Swipe metal cards ..
As with everyone, I was a little dubious about sending my card though the post, but you can freeze it so no harm done.
Order placed on the 14th April... Royal Mail took a day longer than expected to deliver but the following day had a message to say my card was ready and was posted.
19th April card arrived, looked incredible and was chuffed with the whole process.... However... The card didn't work on either contactless or chip and pin. Tried it at 3 different stores, didn't work but my other card worked fine.
Contacted customer support, was told that they were very sorry, it's very rare but the only way to sort this is to cancel and order another card, then post it to them.
I had a holiday so caused a slight delay, however sent another card on my return, received the new one which took weeks and weeks this time, again.... Didn't work!
I was assured if I sent another card it would work, was about to give up but thought I would try one more time. This time, after them having the card for 2 weeks I was told there was an issue with the mag strip and needed to order and send yet another new card.
They did contact me, gave me a partial refund and convinced me to try 1 more time. I used a pre-approved postage label but apparently it got delivered to a mailbox that they can no longer access, so this time I completely gave up.
Shortly after this, 2 off my cards turned up at the house, returned by Royal Mail as they were unable to be delivered, which meant I was lied to about the third card which I simply couldn't take.
Such a shame, card looks great, arrived quickly 1st time round and should have been a brilliant product. However in the end, it was months of back and forth, hassle with postage and constantly chasing refunds etc.
Currently, I have a blank card, no fitting tool and no intention of using it. 2 stars for the card quality, the rest was 1 star sadly!

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.

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.

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.

Great product quality
Great product quality, great manufacture and delivery times and amazing customer support
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.

Great communication from Callum.
Produced a metal card (Amex centurion design) for me within quick turnaround.
Highly recommend the company, looking to get another card done with contactless capabilities!
Ordered card on the Tuesday
Ordered card on the Tuesday and I arrived on the Thursday, customer service was fantastic and the card is extremely high quality and durable would recommend to anyone who is looking for a metal card
Great for Footie fan
I kept seeing ads of this place so fancied to give it a go and get a Man City themed one. I sent it off and it arrived so quickly I’m so happy with how it came out. Design looks like something you’d pay a lot of money for. Will defo buy again for christmas
Fantastic desgin and quality
Start off with the card itself, Fantastic quality and print is perfect.
Great communication from Callum via email every step of the way.
Postage came next day after completion in a nice box with a cloth to keep it clean.
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.
