This latest music-inspired card collection was developed in collaboration with IDEMIA Secure Transactions (IST), a payment solutions world leader. Designed at IST’s Innovation & Design Lab in France bringing together the Nickel and IST teams, the four concepts were created to turn payment cards into an expressive and personalized object.

Backed by a great mix of creative design, latest tech and cutting-edge materials, each card gives users a special experience, from fluorescent effects and metallic finishes to a luxury feel and glowing signatures. The collection reflects growing consumer demand for payment cards that go beyond their basic function to become a bold statement of users’ personality and lifestyle.

Made and customized by IST, the cards were developed from idea right through to production on the back of a collaborative approach combining design expertise, rapid prototyping capabilities, and payment card innovation.

Payment cards remain one of the most visible and personal giveaways in people’s day-to-day experience. What made this teamwork with Nickel particularly exciting was the chance to turn a payment card into a music, creativity and individuality-inspired experience. By putting together Nickel’s vision with our payment card innovation expertise, together we managed to turn mere ideas to create unique experiences into real-life cards that users will really enjoy carrying and using every day.
