# Update a card

If you need to update only some card details, like the billing address or expiration date, you can do so without having to re-enter the full card details. Stripe also works directly with card networks so that your customers can [continue using your service](https://stripe.com/docs/saving-cards#automatic-card-updates) without interruption.

## Returns
