Name on card?

[alexs (Alex Sherwood)]

@Naji / @Zainab since this post basically confirms that the debit cards will have user’s names on them, could we please get ‘official’ confirmation?

Card capture

We are still working out the logistics but if we choose to go down that route then it will probably add a day to the delivery. All of our cards are pre packaged currently.

@alexs We haven’t made final decision on this yet, so can’t confirm either way. Once we have decided, I’ll be sure to update, I expect in the next week or two

Any chance we can have the option or a card with a name or one without?

I guess in the future we will also have Apple/Android/Samsung Pay, which will not let the merchant see your name and the card for places which don’t accept contact-less payments.

I never sign them, it rubs off after a month anyway.

To be completely honest I fail to see the point in the signature strip at all. Even when you used to sign for transactions nobody ever checked your signature with the one on the card.

Edit:

Since the debit cards will have names my problem is solved.

Future Card Delivery Times & Details On Card

I can confirm debit cards will have names on them, although we will keep a stock of ‘nameless’ cards which we’ll reserve for people who require super fast deliveries Moving from the pre-paid scheme will be a great opportunity for us to iron out a lot of acceptance issues, it would be a shame if these were replaced with similar issues down relating to nameless cards ( merchants like car hire companies for example don’t accept cards without a name) Also, we want them to look and feel li…
