Deblock presents its physical, metallic and luminous map

While the start-up Deblock, which offers an innovative model combining current account and crypto wallet, just got the first French licence MiCA to the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), it now offers a new offer to satisfy the needs of its customers while at the same time differentiating. And for that, she chose to launch a metallic, bright payment card.

FACTS

• Deblock has therefore just presented its brand new physical payment card developed in partnership with Visa.

• The latter complements the range of physical and virtual maps already offered by FinTech, but stands out in particular in shape since it is designed in metal, and more particularly in stainless steel of 14 grams.

• The most important thing about this card is that it also features a battery-free LED screen that can turn on when the card is near a payment terminal.

• Beyond the shape, the Deblock LED metal card allows its users to enjoy up to 1% maximum cashback on their transactions.

ISSUES

• Offer a premium experience : In shape, Deblock promises the quality of its new steel-based payment medium to offer a sense of robustness to its carriers. Beyond this feeling, the card is actually intended only for Deblock's highest-end customers, holding Premium or Native accounts.

• Differentiating In addition to its robustness and Premium character, it is mainly the fact that the card is illuminated that today serves Deblock as an argument for differentiation. More than a technological gadget, lighting is presented as a way to make the payment time more visual and significant.

PERSPECTIVE

• Deblock does not really sign a first with its LED light card. In June 2024, Idemia Secure Transactions already presented a card with an OLED display. The map IDEMIA Starlight This works without battery but is able, thanks to its integrated OLED technology, to illuminate when it is placed near a POS drive.

• This new initiative presented by Deblock underlines in any case the fact that the physical card still represents a commercial issue, including for banks and dematerialised financial services players. Moreover, beyond Deblock, it is also another alternative actor, the BNPL Zilch specialist, who has also just announced the launch, scheduled for September, a payment card with Visa. Its version, however, remains much more classic than that of Deblock.
