# Cancel an existing card

`POST /cards/{cardId}/cancel`

Cancelling a card _**permanently**_ disables authorisation processing & _**destroys**_ the card from the card scheme perspective. This means that all _new_ authorisations will be immediately declined and this cannot be reversed. Outstanding authorisations are unaffected and settlement, chargebacks, refunds, etc will continue to function as normal.

## Path parameters

- `cardId` string, required

## Request body

- CardCancelCardRequest — Reason for cancellation
  - `reason` 'STOLEN' | 'DESTROYED' | 'LOST' — The reason for cancelling the card. Can be one of DESTROYED, LOST, STOLEN

## Response `200`

Card cancelled successfully

## Other responses

- `400` — Invalid request
