SBI Group, which has a strong presence in the gaming industry with its diverse activities in e-sports, VTuber, cryptocurrencies, and NFT, has recently joined the SBI Group, making it a gaming bank for gamers.
Recently, Shinsei Bank, which owns APLUS, a credit card company that issues the League of Legends credit card, has joined the SBI Group, making it a gaming bank for gamers.
On February 15, the bank was approved for listing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and it is riding a wave of momentum.
The debit card issued by SBI Group's "SBI Sumishin Net Bank" will be renewed in March 2022!
The newest technology for the debit card is being developed by a company that is very familiar with e-sports...!
The new debit card will be made of "METAL SURFACE CARD" and will have a metallic texture!
住信SBIネット銀行 The new Platinum Debit Card features the "METAL SURFACE CARD", a metal-textured card that enables contactless payment.
The "METAL SURFACE CARD" is a metal-textured card that can be used for contactless payments. Toppan Printing, which provides event support services for e-sports, has developed this technology.
Some of American Express's proprietary cards, the Luxury Card issued by SBI Group's APLUS, and Diners Club's Premium Card issued by Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Club are made of real "metal". Diners Club's Premium Card, which is issued by Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Club.
When I first held a metal card in my hand, I was very excited, but when I actually used it, I found that it was not usable in some places and that it was sometimes swallowed up by payment machines, mainly in coin-operated parking lots.
Because of the frequent occurrence of such cases, I think there are more and more notices prohibiting the use of metal cards in coin-operated parking lots.
Although it is inconvenient to carry a plastic card separately, it is hard to abandon the texture and luxurious feeling that only metal can provide.
According to Toppan Printing's announcement, the key texture is as follows.
By heat-transferring metallic vapor deposition film onto the surface of a plastic card, we have reproduced a metallic shine, luster, and texture that cannot be expressed by printing.
The texture is reproduced using metallic vapor deposition film.
Since the film can be transferred onto the magnetic stripe, it is possible to design and print the entire face of the card, making it possible to create a cool card depending on the design as well as the material.
The SBI Sumishin Net Bank debit card takes full advantage of the merits of the "METAL SURFACE CARD".
An IC card capable of contactless communication!
This latest technology has a plastic base and is compatible with contactless payment, despite its metallic texture.
This is a great thing since contactless payment (touch payment) has become the mainstream in recent years.
Surprisingly few companies issue Mastercard debit cards, other than SBI Sumishin Net Bank, Rakuten Bank and Tomato Bank.
Of course, other companies are just plastic cards, so SBI Sumishin Net Bank's metal-textured debit card would have taken many steps ahead of them.
Numberless and outstanding security!
And the highlight is that debit cards do not contain any card information such as card number or security code.
Many card designs these days do not put information on the front but concentrate it on the back, but there is a risk that the card information will eventually be stolen due to someone snooping on the back of the card.
However, at stores where customers leave their cards in the hands of clerks when paying, a single photo of the back of the card is enough to steal the information, and this is controversial.
The "numberless" card is the answer to this situation.
Since there is no card information on the card, there is no risk of theft.
For credit cards, Sumitomo Mitsui Card, Credit Saison, and PayPay Card have issued numberless cards, but SBI Sumishin Net Bank may be the first debit card issuer to do so.
"So where do I check my card information? " you may be thinking, "But don't worry.
You can check your card information through SBI Sumishin Net Bank's smartphone application.
You will be glad to know that you don't have to take your card out of your wallet every time you shop online.
It may be a bit of a hassle when shopping with a smartphone, but if you have a smartphone with a split-screen function, I don't think it will be that much of a hassle. I think there are few cases where it is inconvenient.
What about those who already have a debit card with SBI?
If you currently have a debit card, you can continue to use it until the expiration date.
The new card will be replaced when the renewal card is issued.
The new card will also be changed when the card is reissued for other reasons such as loss or theft, change of brand, change of grade, etc.
