Most credit cards are the same shape and size, as specified by the ISO 7810 standard.
ID-1
The ID-1 format specifies a size of 85.60 × 53.98 mm (3.370 × 2.125 in). It is commonly used for banking cards (ATM cards, credit cards, debit cards, etc.). It is today also used for driving licences in many countries (including the United States, European Union, Norway and Canada), retail loyalty cards, and it is one fairly common format for business cards.
ISO 7813 defines additional characteristics of ID-1 plastic banking cards, for example a thickness of 0.76 mm and corners rounded with a radius of 3.18 mm.
