Foreign Bank to Issue a Diamond Studded Credit Card

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

Citi has its Diamond Preferred Credit Card and every bank has a gold card, but leave it to Kazakhstan–the home of fictitious journalist Borat–to actually put diamonds and gold in a credit card.

According to the Financial Times, the “Diamond” credit card will be issued by MasterCard and Kazkommertsbank, a bank in Kazakhstan. The card is laced with gold and features a 0.02 carat diamond set into the center of the card.

It will carry a $1000 annual fee, a $50,000 credit limit and access to a full-time personal manager. The bank plans to issue a total of 1000 of the cards to its best VIP customers.
