Mastercard is ready to let go of the magnetic strip on its cards. The company plans to transition to chip cards starting in 2024, particularly in regions where it's already a norm (like in Europe). Those regions where chips aren't widely used yet will begin their transition in 2027.
By 2029, no new credit or debit cards will be released with a magnetic strip. The exceptions will be prepaid cards in the US and Canada. Mastercard plans to transition away from magnetic strips by 2033.
