⏳ Card Expiry in SiFi

⏳ Card Expiry in SiFi

Every SiFi card has an expiry date, which determines how long the card remains valid. Expiry can be set in two ways:

🗓️ User-Defined Expiry (Custom Expiry)

SiFi allows you to set a custom expiry date when creating a card.

👉 This is useful for:

  • Projects → Issue a card valid only during the project timeline.

  • Events / Business Trips → Create cards that expire once the event or visit ends.

  • Temporary Access → Assign cards to contractors or interns with a clear end date.


How it Works

  • You can set a start date and an end date when creating the card.

  • Once the card crosses the expiry date, it automatically moves to Card Expired status.

  • You can view the expiry date in the Card Overview and in all relevant screens (including during activation).

💳 Mastercard Expiry (Default Expiry)

In addition to custom expiry, every SiFi card also has a default Mastercard network expiry:

  • All cards are issued with a 5-year expiry period from the date of issuance.

  • Once the card reaches this date, it will expire and cannot be used.

  • Currently, we recommend creating a new card manually once it is expired.

  • 🔜 Soon, SiFi will support automatic card replacement at the time of Mastercard expiry.

Notes

✅ Key Notes

  • Custom expiry is controlled by your company during card creation.

  • Mastercard expiry is fixed by the card network (5 years).

  • Once a card is expired, it cannot be reactivated, a new card must be created or issued.

  • Expired cards remain visible in the system for record keeping but are not usable.
