Is My Card Secure?

Absolutely, your security is our top priority. We pride ourselves on building trust and crafting unique, custom cards for our long-term customers, ensuring reliability and peace of mind.

To create a fully functional custom card, we need your existing card, but rest assured, we never ask for sensitive information like PINs or social security numbers.

If you have any concerns, you can send a zero-funds card, an inactive card, or freeze your card during processing. Your data is only held as long as necessary, and once your metal card is completed, all personal information is deleted.

Your confidence and safety are our priorities at every step.

Where is my card going?

Your card is sent to our secure, locked PO box. All orders are processed on the same day they are received at our facility in Lodi, California. Upon receiving your card, you will be notified and provided with return tracking information.

Is my information safe?

Your personal card information is never stored, displayed, or viewed by anyone other than the Payment Compliance Certified staff of Carbon Cut USA. With the combination of our SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encrypted website, we guarantee the safe keeping of your personal information when it is in our possession.

Your card will not be charged by Carbon Cut USA during the upgrade process. We recommend temporarily freezing or locking your card before shipping it to us.

Will my card work at ATM's?

Great question! While our metal cards are designed for stylish transactions, there are a few considerations to keep in mind when using them with ATMs and certain machines.

ATM Usage:
Using metal cards in ATMs or machines that require full card insertion isn't recommended. The robustness of the metal card can cause issues in some machines, potentially leading to ejection problems. We advise using the metal card only in machines where part of the card remains exposed, allowing for easy retrieval if needed.

However, your original plastic card can still be used in ATMs without the EMV chip. The magnetic strip on your plastic card will be read by the ATM machines. So, for ATM transactions, your plastic card or smartphone are the preferred options.

Contactless Convenience:
For quick and secure transactions, you can set up your smartphone with contactless features like Apple Pay or Samsung Pay to access ATMs. If you're unsure about the setup, your bank representative can guide you through the process.

In Case of a Stuck Card:
If your metal card gets stuck in a machine, don't worry. Simply visit your branch with proper identification, and they'll help you retrieve your card.

Functionality Assurance:
Rest assured, your new metal card works everywhere your plastic card does. The only difference is the housing of the EMV chip, which is now in metal rather than plastic. Remember, the heart of your card is the EMV chip, not the material around it.

Feel free to enjoy the stylish convenience of your metal card while keeping these tips in mind for smooth transactions.
