The 14-carat Visa gold card from IMGold will be made available to clients who have at least \u00a3100,000 of the metal bars in their vault. The idea is that customers can use the card to borrow against their reserves, effectively hedging against a decline in the value of gold.<\/p>\n<p>IMGold is currently inviting applicants for the blinged up store of wealth under the banner: The card that carries more weight.<\/p>\n<p>The Isle of man is some way behind Kazakhstan&#8217;s oligarchs, who have been brandishing gold and diamond-encrusted cards for some year now. MasterCard and Kazkommertsbank introduced their own diamond-encrusted card in the province back in 2008. This was followed in 2012 by the launch of Visa Infinite Exclusive cards &#8211; made of pure gold, with pearl embossing and 26 diamonds &#8211; by Sberbank for its top 100 customers in the energy-rich country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The operator of a gold vault on the Isle of man is to issue a credit card made of solid<\/p>\n<div id=\"more-button\"><a class=\"btn btn-more excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nationaltransaction.com\/credit-card-merchant\/isle-of-man-issue-a-credit-card-made-of-solid-gold\/\">Continue Reading<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[629,11],"tags":[225,382,2107,9,2108,405,2106,2109],"class_list":["post-1564","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-emv-europay-mastercard-visa","category-visa-mastercard-american-express","tag-card","tag-credit-card","tag-imgold","tag-mastercard","tag-reserves","tag-visa","tag-visa-gold-card","tag-visa-infinite-exclusive-cards"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaltransaction.com\/credit-card-merchant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1564","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaltransaction.com\/credit-card-merchant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaltransaction.com\/credit-card-merchant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaltransaction.com\/credit-card-merchant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaltransaction.com\/credit-card-merchant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1564"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaltransaction.com\/credit-card-merchant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1564\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1571,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaltransaction.com\/credit-card-merchant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1564\/revisions\/1571"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaltransaction.com\/credit-card-merchant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1564"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaltransaction.com\/credit-card-merchant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1564"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaltransaction.com\/credit-card-merchant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1564"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
