|
 |
|
Compare the signature |
| When a signature is required, the
signature on the receipt should be compared with
that on the back of the card. |
|
 |
|
 |
|
Authorisation is only a phone
call away |
| Do not hesitate to phone the authorisation
centre to have a transaction approved. |
|
 |
|
 |
|
Identify the cardholder |
| Ask the cardholder for an ID or passport.
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
Security at a glance |
| Check for the presence of visible
security features on the card: the absence of a
hologram or a watermark which is visible under a
UV light used to check banknotes is indicative of
a counterfeit. |
|
 |
|
 |
|
Check the card number |
| Check that the card number printed
on the retailer's receipt is the same as the number
on the cardholder's card. |
