It’s Myne, not a thief’s, Gromit! New Wallace and Gromit anti-fraud cards launched

By John Freeman on 9 July 2019

Myne Cards – a company specialising in credit card-sized devices to place into wallets and purses, which give protection over all contactless cards – has just added Wallace and Gromit cards to its catalogue.

Myne Cards are specifically designed to block a fraudster’s card reader, so the only time your contactless card is shared is when you want it to be. Previous releases feature a Beryl Cook artwork and images of cats and dogs, all avaiulable through Amazon UK.

Three Wallace and Gromit designs available, each showing the characters from different shorts over their 30-year history, one a scene from A Grand Day Out, one featuring the train chase scene from The Wrong Trousers, and another a scene from A Matter of Loaf and Death.

“We are very excited that Wallace & Gromit have joined the team, especially now as they celebrate 30 years,” said Keith Milburn of Myne Cards. Wallace himself brings lots of great ideas and a large heritage of designs that help Wallace & Gromit be a perfect fit as a gift in your wallet.

“Myne Cards continues to grow its range of contactless protection with key licences to ensure there’s a Myne Card for everyone.”

Ian Downes, MD of Start Licensing – which brokered the partnership between Aardman and Myne Cards – added: “Wallace & Gromit continue to bring enjoyment and quirky inventions to fans. The images captured on each Myne Card represent the best that the duo can offer.”
