This is according to research done by KBC, which shows 17% of those who reported their card missing have gone on to find it again afterwards.
Men between the ages of 22 and 44, living in Dublin topped the poll of those most likely to lose their cards.
KBC also investigated some of the most awkward situations, Irish people, have found themselves in without a credit card.
With 15% of Irish adults embarrassed to admit that they had not been able to pay the bill when on a date.
