Insignia, the world\u2019s leading luxury financial and lifestyle management group has successfullydevelopeda technologyoflayeredmetalcoatingthatprevents germs from living on the coating. This has now been applied to their cards, creating a completely clean card and they are championing for the technology to be used by other brands too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the UAE is currently requesting for all payments in shops and restaurants to be contactless, this latest development from Insignia, diminishes any concerns over the transmission of COVID-19 at the point of payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This powerful new technology was created in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, as Insignia looked at new ways of supporting their clients. As reported, one of themostunavoidableformsofgermtransmissionoccursthroughtheordinary useofmoneyandcreditcards, and with 63% of people being credit card holders in the UAE (roughly 5 million active credit cards in circulation*), the potential risk of spreadingthe bacteria is very high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A number of factors combine to make transmission through this particular form of direct handling a specific concern and a solution is very urgently needed \u2013 and Insignia are here to help!In effect, the technology works by silver-coating money-cards with a layer that resists pathogens. Stringent tests on silver, ceramic, titanium and zinc credit-card materials showed that the coating effectivelykilledupto99.9percentofgermsontreatedsurfaces.Thetestsalsoshowedthatpathogens do not have time to develop resistance before being completely destroyed. Moreover, because the technologyoperatesmechanicallyratherthanchemically,theuseofsilvercoatingwon\u2019tcontributeto environmentalpollution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This new technology was developed swiftly by The Insignia Group to address the problem created by the Coronavirus as a way of ensuring the highest quality of service to their clients. However, Insignia hope that this technology can help other product-based industries as well, removing the threat of germs living on surfaces of products such as mobile phones, stationary, laptops and so much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
