Can Chip Credit Card Go Underwater?

[ScubaMarc]

I usually take my credit cards and cash underwater in a wet pouch. Does anyone know if I can get chip credit card completely wet?

I can not test the card out, i need it.

(Also, my rental car only has a electric key fob key, :-( )

Mine survived washing.

Bending will do more to damage it, methinks. There are Pelican boxes for such things that are waterproof.

Are credits cards water proof?

Then again, if you take them into salt water, that is way more corrosive. If the chip corrodes, it is toast.

There is no reason the chip won't work once you dry it off. Until it corrodes. in about 3 hours.

When I travel I swim with my money clip in my shorts. I've had no issue with the chip not working during or after my trips.

If your card gets bent will a USN TT6 fix it?
