Why does my card expire?

Cards expire for several reasons, but the main ones are:

  • to protect against fraud

  • to process card security updates

  • to ensure your card remains in good working condition

But it's worth noting that only your physical card and your card number expire. Your account, your account number and your sort-code do not expire.
