Would my bank card still work if I stuck a label on it?

[PurplePepperEater]

This is possibly the weirdest question I’ve ever asked on here, but does anyone know whether my bank cards would still work if I stuck either a little sticker or just sellotaped a bit of paper to them?
And where about on the card would be best to do it?

Hope it won't have your pin written on

You can write on a bank card with a Sharpie

I was going to say Sharpie. Anything stuck on might come off in a cash machine and snarl it up.

No idea the answer but intrigued to know why you want to know.

A sharpie! Of course! I spend half my life cursing the buggers because they never come off anything, I don’t know why I didn’t think of that thankyou both

And Journey how else would I remember it

Mine have a little sticker on as I have cards for 3 different accounts with the same bank.

It’s just on the front at the top. Works perfectly

Why do you want to write on your bank card?

Provided you don't cover the chip or magstripe it wouldn't stop the card working. But as mentioned, the chance of the label getting stuck in a machine makes it not a good idea I don't think.

I have 3 identical bank cards for 3 accounts so use a sharpie to differentiate between them after the bit of paper I had on it meant it got stuck in the cash point !

I sharpie mine now but I've stickered in the past too and it worked!

I had my card personalised with a photo.

One of mine worked for months with a corner chewed off by the dog, it was chip end as well. Before contactless, I would put it in the chip and pin machine, chewed corner first, took a bit of a push to get it in and a hard pull to get it out again. I didn't dare use it in a cash machine though. I think one of my cards still has the 'please remove this sticker' stickers on, works fine.

You laugh at the thought of writing your PIN on your card. I used to work in a bank and I'd see this every day. Every Fucking Day.

I have a little sticker on top right as I have 2 debit cards with the same bank and it makes it easy to find the one I need in a hurry, it was a star but currently it’s a small dinosaur

I'm tempted to nail varnish the edge of my club card which is annoyingly exactly the same colours as my nationwide card.

I've got 5 cards from one bank and they all look the bloody same.

I've sharpeid a couple and have snipped the corners off another. They all still work fine.

You can take the chip out and put in on a magic wand.

I use these.
They're not so obvious, they stay stuck on and one can feel them on the card.

AlanThePig - ask Tesco for a new Clubcard, they have red edges now.
