Custom Capital One Metal Card: Upgrade Your Venture or Quicksilver to Metal

Your Capital One card does the work every day. It should look the part too. A custom Capital One metal card takes the exact card you already carry, a Venture, a Quicksilver, a VentureOne, or a Platinum, and rebuilds it in real metal. Same account, same number, same relationship with Capital One. Only the material and the feel change.

Ordering one is not an application, and it is not a tier upgrade. It is a custom metal credit card built from the plastic you already own. Here is how to design and order one, step by step.

What a Custom Capital One Metal Card Actually Is

The name describes a finish and a conversion, not a new product from the bank. Here is what it means in practice.

A custom Capital One metal card is your existing card rebuilt in stainless steel or brass. Real metal gives it weight, around 28 grams against roughly 6 for plastic, so it lands differently in the hand and in the wallet. Your chip, your number, and your Capital One account stay exactly the same, which is the whole point of a conversion. If you want the fuller picture, here are the real differences between metal and plastic in daily use.

Capital One's Own Metal Cards Come With an Annual Fee

Capital One does make metal cards, but only on its premium travel products, and each one carries an annual fee. Its everyday cards ship in plastic. The table below shows where the popular cards land.

So if you carry a Quicksilver, a VentureOne, or a Platinum, the bank route to metal means applying for a fee-based travel card you may not want. And even the metal Venture cards come only in Capital One's fixed design. Conversion skips all of that.

Convert the Capital One Card You Already Carry

Conversion works on the Capital One card in your wallet right now, whichever product it is. The method is a patented EMV chip transplant.

Lion Card moves the real EMV chip and magnetic stripe data from your plastic Capital One card into a metal body, protected under U.S. Patent No. 11,562,194. Your account number, your chip, and your bank all carry over untouched, so nothing about your Capital One relationship changes. You are transforming the card, not the account behind it.

No Application and No Credit Check

This is a conversion service, not a new card from a bank, so there is no application to fill out. There is no credit check and no hard inquiry, because you are not opening anything new. You keep the exact Capital One account, rewards, and benefits you already have, since only the physical card is rebuilt.

Design Your Metal Capital One Card

Every detail is yours to choose, and you approve a mockup before anything is made. Start with one of two base methods, each starting at $99.

• Engraved: precision laser engraving on stainless steel or brass for a classic, timeless look
• UV color printing: vibrant, full-color printing for a bolder design that will not fade
• Finish: pick from brushed, mirror, brass, textured, and carbon fiber options
• Personalization: add your name, initials, text, a logo, or an optional border
• Back branding: choose whether to keep or remove the branding on the back

Want more presence in the hand? You can also step up to a diamond-set metal finish for the ultimate luxury feel.

How the Conversion Works Step by Step

The process is tracked from the moment you order to the day both cards arrive back. Here is the full path.

1. Order your design online and approve the emailed mockup
2. Receive a prepaid, tracked shipping label from Lion Card
3. Freeze your card or send it with a zero balance, then mail it in
4. Your card reaches the lab in about 2 to 3 business days
5. The EMV chip is transplanted in 1 to 2 business days after arrival
6. Both your original card and your new metal card ship back, with domestic delivery in about 5 to 7 business days

The team never asks for your PIN, Social Security number, or passwords at any step.

Carry Your Capital One Card in Real Metal

Same account, same number, same bank, rebuilt in metal you designed. Skip the waiting list and the annual fee, and start with the card you already carry. Design Your Card and choose your finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Capital One have a metal card?

Yes, but only on its premium travel cards. The Venture X and the Venture Rewards are metal, and both carry an annual fee, while everyday cards like Quicksilver, VentureOne, and Platinum come in plastic. To get metal on one of those without upgrading tiers, you convert the card you already hold into a custom metal card.

How do I get my Capital One Venture card in metal?

You send your existing Capital One Venture card in and have it rebuilt in metal through the patented chip transplant process. Bank-issued Venture cards come only in Capital One's own design, so conversion is how you choose your own finish, engraving, and details. Your account, number, and rewards stay exactly the same, because only the card body changes.

Is the Capital One Quicksilver card available in metal?

Not from Capital One directly, since the Quicksilver ships in plastic. You can still carry it in metal by converting the plastic Quicksilver you already have into a custom metal card. There is no need to switch to a fee-based travel product to get the metal feel.

Will converting my Capital One card change my account or rewards?

No. The conversion happens to the physical card, not to your account, so your Capital One number, bank relationship, rewards, and benefits all stay in place. You are changing the material of the card, and nothing else.

Does a metal Capital One card still work everywhere my plastic did?

Chip insert and swipe work anywhere your original Capital One card worked, since it is the same chip doing the job. The metal card itself does not tap, so you tap through Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay instead. Just avoid ATMs that pull the card fully inside, and use readers where the card stays partly exposed.

Is it safe to mail in my Capital One card?

Yes. Lion Card is PCI compliant and Better Business Bureau accredited with an A plus rating, and it backs the work with a money-back guarantee on the process. Your data is used only to complete the transfer and is deleted afterward, never stored, shared, or sold, and the team never asks for your PIN or passwords. You can also freeze your card before mailing for extra peace of mind.
