Location-trackable banking card and method therefor

A method of tracking a location of a banking card, said method comprising the steps of:

• providing a location-trackable banking card comprising:
• a card body having a front face and a rear face;
• a magnetic strip being attached to said rear face of said card body;
• a bank card chip being embedded in said card body;
• a printed circuit board being positioned in said card body;
• a microcontroller being positioned in said card body and mounted on said printed circuit board;
• a GPS chip being positioned in said card body and mounted on said printed circuit board, said GPS chip being connected to said microcontroller to control intermittent operation of said GPS chip to receive location data of a location of said card body from a GPS network;
• a SIM module being positioned in said card body and mounted on said printed circuit board, said SIM module being connected to said microcontroller to control operation of said SIM module to send location data over cellular networks;
• an antenna being positioned in said card body and connected to said GPS chip and said SIM module;
• and
• a battery being positioned in said card body and connected to said printed circuit board to supply power;
• operating said GPS chip intermittently in timed intervals and obtaining location data;
• and
• sending location data via said SIM module over a cellular network to an electronic device.
