Sign your credit card and bank card - you have to be aware of that
You must always sign the credit card and EC card (bank card) - but be careful: To ensure that everything runs smoothly when paying, you must not carelessly label the card with any pen.
Sign credit card and EC card: that's the reason
- You must sign each credit and debit card in the space provided on the back. Best with a waterproof pen like a ballpoint pen.
- This is for your own security: if the card is stolen and the thief tries to pay with it, he must either enter the PIN or sign it on the receipt.
- While the PIN is considered particularly secure protection, the cashier has to check the signature on the card and on the receipt when signing: Do they match?
- If there is no signature on the card or there is a large difference between the signature on the card and the receipt, the cashier can refuse the payment.
Do you pay with an EC card? Wrong - they haven't been around since 2007 ...
