Always Ensure

• The Card is whole, intact and valid
• The Card signature strip is intact and has not been tampered with
• The Card relates to the holder in terms of name, age, gender and nationality
• The Card number and the signature on the Card matches those on the signed slip (For non-Chip & Pin transactions)
• To contact the authorisation centre that is designated for your country/market if suspicious

Never Accept

• A Card that is damaged, altered or with corners snipped
• A Card with a dull finish or blurred patchy printing
• An authorisation approval code from a third party
• To return the Card until the transaction is authorised
• To split a purchase into more than one transaction
• To give cash against Card
• To process a transaction without approval code, if the transaction amount is higher than your establishment’s floor limit

• Watch out for easy sale, random purchase, bulk buying without showing interest on product knowledge and return policy
• Nervous behaviour
• Attempts to distract or rush you during the transaction
• Multiple purchases over a short period of time for big amounts using several cards

• Ask the Cardmember to present some personal identification (IDs which are acceptable are; Passport, Drivers Licence and or any government issued IDs)
  Those details must be matching the information of the Card presented
• When in doubt? Call your Authorisation Centre and ask for a “Code 10” discretely

Make sure you and your staff are familiar with our security procedures from day one. If you offer e-commerce to your customers, please ensure your website registration and checkout areas are secure and encrypted. Only dispatch goods to the address at which the Cardmember’s Card is registered and always obtain signed proof of delivery.
