28. Your Card

28.1. Cards are not available on all accounts. The Key Features Table indicates the accounts for which they are available.

28.3. We may issue replacement cards at any time, for example when the cardholder has changed his or her name, or when the card has been damaged. If we issue a replacement card to you, you must not use the card it replaces and you remain liable for any use of the replaced card.

28.4. Before the expiry date of your card, we will automatically issue you with a renewal card unless you request us in writing not to do so.
