Abstract

Embodiments provide methods and systems for determining and displaying health status of a payment card. The payment card includes a planar body, an interconnection circuit, and a display section. The planar body houses a payment card processing section. The interconnection circuit is configured within the planar body. The interconnection circuit is configured to generate a damage signal in response to a physical damage of at least a portion of the planar body or the payment card processing section. The display section is positioned in the planar body for displaying a visual information indicating health status of the payment card in response to the damage signal for a cardholder.
