Russia's T-Bank has brought a completely different vibe to banking — literally. The bank has introduced a series of scented bank cards called "Black," and this unusual product is considered the first in Russia. The cards are issued in limited numbers and are presented in six different scents: chocolate, coke, pine, strawberry, mint and a nostalgic aroma reminiscent of "Love Is" chewing gum.
Thanks to a special scent coating on the card, the aroma intensifies when you touch or rub it. According to T-Bank official Vladimir Lyubimov, these cards will not only provide the user with convenience in everyday financial transactions, but also bring back pleasant memories of summer - a walk in the forest, a vacation at sea or fresh strawberries picked in the garden. This product, which combines smell, design and technology, aims to make banking services more emotional and memorable.
It has not yet been announced how many copies of the cards will be issued, but it is clear that choosing a bank card this summer will no longer be just about functionality, but also about smell.
