BRASILIA, Brazil–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Banco de Brasilia (BRB) launches today Dux, a metal card made from IDEMIA technology.

The product, under the Visa banner, arrives to further increase the BRB portfolio.

Aimed at high-income customers, Dux will provide premium experiences, such as a specialized concierge service; consulting services; travel planning; booking of tours and leisure activities abroad; exclusive menus in restaurants; unlimited access to VIP lounges at Brasilia Airport; and access to thousands of Brazilian and global VIP lounges through the Loungekey program.

“IDEMIA is pleased to design exclusive metal cards for BRB customers, with the promise of a high-level payment experience based on innovative technology. We are confident that IDEMIA’s cutting edge technology and premium payment products will help BRB in its innovation trajectory,” says Marcelo Annarumma, IDEMIA Senior Vice President for Latin America. “Payment cards are no longer a mere payment tool in Brazil, but they also reflect lifestyle – through its high-quality material, superior style, design, and handmade effects that refers to an exclusivity quotient,” concludes Marcelo.

The Dux card also offers special advantages for the segment, such as the benefits of BRB relationship program: points that do not expire; an accumulation of 4 points for every dollar spent on purchases; and 5 points for every dollar spent in the first 12 months after the product’s launch.
