Cards are 'hardwired' to stop working from 1 January
The treasury minister is advising those who save money on their MiCard to withdraw their cash before the end of the year.
From 1 January 2026, the cards are 'hardwired' to stop working.
Treasury Minister Alex Allinson says from that date, benefits or pensions will either be paid directly into people's bank accounts, via cheque, or using a replacement card which will only last for 12 months.
But he has this message for MiCard users:
Work underway to remove asbestos from former Golf Links Hotel
Areas containing hazardous material identified in report
Police raise welfare concerns about vehicle occupant
Officers looking for a pale blue Ford Fusion
New EV charging points planned for Island's ports
Manx Utilities also planning a solar canopy at Ronaldsway
Campaigners against offshore windfarm proposals hit out at 'undemocratic' process
Concerns over consultation, 'bullying' tactics and restrictions on MHKs
