Methods and systems for displaying health status of a payment card

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by an electronic circuit, a damage signal in response to a physical damage of at least a portion of a planar body of a payment card or a payment card processing section housed therewith;
• determining, by the electronic circuit, a health status of the payment card based on the damage signal;
• facilitating, by the electronic circuit, display of a visual information indicating the health status of the payment card for a cardholder on a display section positioned in the planar body;
• and
• sending, by the payment card processing section, a transaction request to a server system associated with a payment network via a terminal, the transaction request comprising at least a payment card information, the health status of the payment card and a validity information, wherein upon receipt of the transaction request, the server system is configured to perform:
• reading the health status of the payment card;
• and
• upon determining the health status as at least one of a deteriorating health condition or a bad health condition, processing a new payment card request for the cardholder.

A payment card, comprising:

• a planar body housing a payment card processing section, the payment card processing section being embodied in at least one portion of one or more portions of the planar body;
• a plurality of interconnection circuits configured within the planar body for detecting a physical damage in at least a portion of the planar body, each interconnection circuit of the plurality of interconnection circuits configured in one portion of the one or more portions;
• a damage sensor configured to sense the physical damage in at least one interconnection circuit of the plurality of interconnection circuits for generating a damage signal;
• an electronic circuit configured to receive the damage signal and determine a health status of the payment card;
• and
• a display section positioned in the planar body for displaying a visual information indicating the health status of the payment card for a cardholder;
• wherein the payment card processing section is configured to send a transaction request to a server system associated with a payment network via a terminal, the transaction request comprising at least a payment card information, the health status of the payment card and a validity information, wherein upon receipt of the transaction request, the server system is configured to perform:
• reading the health status of the payment card;
• and
• upon determining the health status as at least one of a deteriorating health condition or a bad health condition, processing a new payment card request for the cardholder.
