Your card will automatically renew when it's about to expire. You don't need to do anything. Here are some answers to frequently asked questions about card renewals.

1. Which details get updated during renewal?

Only the expiry date and CVV are updated; the PAN remains the same.When using the renewed card, these updated details will need to be entered where required.

2. When exactly does the renewal happen?

Renewal timings are generally:

Physical cards: ~30 days before expiry

Virtual cards: ~1 day before expiry

3. Could renewal affect payments (e.g., on the last day of the month)?

Physical cards: the existing card remains active until the renewed card is activated, so in-flight transactions are not impacted.

Virtual cards: renewal is instant, and in-flight transactions are unaffected.

4. Apple Pay / Google Pay updates

Any wallet tokens will automatically update when expiry/CVV changes. You do not need to take any action, as the token will link to the renewed card seamlessly.
