signature is an important proof to confirm the identity of the cardholder. If the cardholder swallows the card at ATM, the bank staff can check it with the signature on the back of the bank card and the passbook as the basis for returning the card without verifying the identity of the cardholder.
In China, credit cards are generally used for password consumption, so many cardholders ignore the importance of signature. But in foreign countries, many times you don't need a password, just sign it. Therefore, if the cardholder does not sign back, normal consumption may be affected when going abroad to play.
