What should be done with any Defence Bank cards?
Any Visa Debit and or credit cards held by the deceased (whether a primary or secondary account holder) should be securely destroyed by cutting the card in half diagonally and through the chip if there is one.
If the deceased was the secondary or additional cardholder to an account in someone else’s name their access will be removed and their card cancelled when we are advised of their passing, and these cards should be securely destroyed also. The primary cardholder can continue to operate the account as usual.
