Will my card work at ATMs?
Great question! While our metal cards are designed for transactions, there are some considerations regarding use in ATMs and other vending machines.
Use at ATMs:
Using metal cards in ATMs or devices that require the card to be fully inserted is not recommended. The sturdiness of metal cards can cause problems in some machines, such as difficulty ejecting the card. We recommend using metal cards only in devices where a portion of the card is exposed, so it can be easily retrieved if needed.
In case of blocked card:
If your metal card gets stuck in a machine, don't worry. Just go to the branch with a valid ID and they'll help you retrieve it.
