The making of the NBAD GEMS Card

Appreciation encourages us to grow. Even our lovely planet needs a little respect and care for it to continue growing. Which is why we’ve chosen to use 100% biodegradable materials in the making of this card.

We also chose to include your kids in the project. When we asked them to participate in our art competition, the overwhelming majority used their creative talents to explore the beauty of our world and the importance of protecting it. Their insightful work was so well crafted, that we ended up using the winning piece as the face of the NBAD GEMS Credit Card – a card made for them and by them.
