Yes and No. Most ATM Cards are made from Plastic and hence they are waterproof. But, these days newer cards are coming with the latest Micro Chips which are not so water proof. They are just like any other electronic device. They are bound to get damaged with exposure to water.

Water won't affect the micro-chip embedded in the plastic - but it will affect the magnetic strip on the back. It's far safer to get a damaged card replaced.
