How long do chip cards last?

Chip cards, also known as EMV cards, typically last between 3 and 5 years. The exact lifespan depends on the card issuer and the type of card, but most cards should last at least three years before needing to be replaced. Chip cards are generally more secure than traditional magnetic stripe cards, as they contain an embedded microchip that provides an added layer of security when making purchases.

How many years does a card last?

Credit cards generally have an expiration date printed on them that indicates how long the card is valid for. On average, credit cards have a validity period of 3 years. After this period, the cardholder will need to request a new card from their issuer.

How do I find out when my card expires?

To find out when your card expires, you can refer to your card issuer’s website or contact them directly. Most card issuers provide an expiration date on the front of the card, so this should be the quickest way to find out when your card is set to expire. Additionally, if you are a cardholder, you may also be able to check this information online in your account.
