Attracting and retaining high-status customers—in terms of wealth, spending, or loyalty—is one of the most rewarding yet complex challenges facing banks today. These potential customers are smart, sophisticated, and financially-savvy—seeking unique, curated experiences that align with their lifestyles.

Your high-value, prestige accounts and credit cards may offer a host of features and benefits that make sense to this valuable market—from exclusive lounge access to international concierges. To complement these propositions, a genuinely differentiating payment card can act as a tangible status symbol, embodying the promises that your brand is making to these customers. That’s why we created Convego^® Ceramic—a card body made fully of ceramic, for your most prestigious customers.
