A surface contact card holder includes a housing, a tray and two elastic members positioned between the tray and the housing. The housing includes a support plate and defines an opening. The support plate defines a through hole. The tray is slidable and receivable in the housing from the opening and the tray is configured for carrying a surface contact card therein. The tray includes a tray body and a cantilever arm extending from the tray body. The cantilever arm includes a protruding portion releasbly latched in the through hole. When the protruding portion is pressed to release the tray, the tray is automatically slid out of the opening under the elastic force of the elastic members to allow insertion and removal of the surface contact card from the housing.
