A new limited-edition card was launched in Dubai in partnership with Billionaire and Insignia, in collaboration with jewellery and watch designer Jacob & Co. The visa card is made using materials other than the traditionally used plastic and incorporates gold, diamonds and gemstones.
Arabian Business understood from a member of the Insignia team that the card is strictly for high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals with a minimum spend requirement of $500,000 and a net worth of around $30 million and over.
Key benefits include personalisation and a premium quality card which are defined as “art” pieces and an “investment for life.” Cardholders are also provided with a dedicated personal assistant available 24/7 throughout the year, offering comprehensive assistance.
The Billionaire card offers exclusive access to global invite-only events and venues. In addition, cardholders enjoy complimentary perks, including a weeklong getaway at the luxurious Billionaire Resort & Retreat, Lion in the Sun, located in Malindi.
Calling themselves “wish granters,” Insignia boats a 98 percent success rate on fulfilling requests.

The firm consciously caps and selects members to maintain exclusivity and ensure that members receive full personal attention. The website reads, “If you want a table at a fully booked restaurant, we’ll send a lifestyle manager to the establishment in person to charm a reservation out of the manager.”
“Say yes to the impossible” is a tagline frequently used by Insignia to describe the extent of the services.
Alongside the personal assistant comes an in-house team of luxury specialists and lifestyle managers.
The Insignia team has various cards under its provision including a jewellery card, glamour card, and billionaire jewellery card. The grape with rubies card, for instance, comes with pearl grapes, dotted rubies and jadeite.
