Palladium Card

A J.P. Morgan Palladium Card with EMV

The Palladium Card is a Visa Signature hybrid charge and credit (revolving) card issued by JPMorgan Chase. The card itself is made of precious metals gold and palladium.[1] The card is in a class of exclusive credit cards such as Centurion Card.[1]

History

JPMorgan Chase introduced the Palladium Card in 2009 to cater to their ultra high-net-worth customer base. Bloomberg has described the Palladium Card as the "card for the 1% of the 1%".[2] Most ultra high-net-worth individuals who carry the card have at least $25 million invested with J.P. Morgan's Private Bank, but the card is sometimes offered to the mass affluent customers of Chase Private Client.[2][1] The Palladium Card is the first U.S. ultra-premium credit card with a smart chip and is made out of a significant amount of palladium and gold, costing approximately $1,000 to make each card.[2][1]

Availability and fees

The card is only offered to clients of J.P. Morgan Global Wealth Management (including the J.P. Morgan Private Bank and J.P. Morgan Securities) and Chase Private Client.[3]

Cardholders are required to pay an annual fee of $595.[2][1][3] They are not charged for foreign exchange, late payments, cash advances, or overdrafts.[2]
