Just got my new card in the post and the signature strip is tiny compared the the old one. I wouldn’t care but it says I have to sign it before using it and my signature simply won’t fit on it. Whats the point of even having it this small it’s unusable ---

Don’t worry about it, signature strips will be gone soon. ---

Is Monzo able to not include the sig strip then? ---

The new plus cards don’t have a sig strip. ---

Do bear in mind that some businesses will still ask staff to check signatures due to old SOPs , so i still sign my cards to avoid the hassle , it’s more of an issue abroad than here ---

Some of the signature strips on my cards are so ridiculously small I don’t bother signing them. ---

Hopefully as more cards get issued without the strip the problem will start to go away ---

I’ve never signed a card and nobody has ever checked it either. What would they need to check it for? ---

Ye olde carde fraude. Chip and PIN, and contactless have done away with a lot of the need for it. But back in the day, it was the only verification check one could really do. ---

I can’t even remember the last time I signed a card to had to use a signature for payment… No real need to sign cards these days with having chip and pin for pretty much most purchases ---

Thanks for this, I was worried as the strip is tiny now, the curse of long surnames! ---
