Carry
the art.
SwissCrest is a premium payment card where every edition is an original impasto painting, set in metal. Ocean, mountain, sky — chosen by you, carried every day.
Three editions. Each one a painting.
Ocean and mountain for you — and the sky for your business. Each SwissCrest card carries its own artwork and its own place in the collection.
Verde
Where SwissCrest begins. A cerulean sea in thick, layered brushwork, cut by the white wake of a single speedboat — for those who care how the everyday things in life look and feel.
Platinum
The heart of the collection. A lone skier carving fresh lines down an Alpine face, painted in white and glacier blue — for the person who has arrived and wants the object in their hand to say so.
Business
For founders, partners and the companies they build. A jet climbs into first light above a sea of clouds — the card for people whose next meeting is usually a flight away.
Most cards are printed. Ours are painted.
A card is the one object you set down in front of other people. We decided it should look like something.
Impasto artwork
Every edition begins as a painting in thick, textured acrylic — ridges, strokes and depth you can see from across the table.
Set in metal
A solid metal body with real weight in the hand. Chip and contactless, ready wherever premium cards are accepted.
Nothing in the way
No card number on the front. Just the painting, your name and the SwissCrest mark — your details stay discreetly on the reverse.
The card is the object.
The circle is the point.
SwissCrest is built as a membership, not just a means of payment. Our ambition is to bring cardholders together each year — an evening in Zürich for the people who chose to carry something different.
Event access by edition will be confirmed with full membership terms at launch.
