Signature is an important proof to confirm the identity of the cardholder. If the cardholder swallows the card at the ATM, the bank staff can check 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.
Due to the widespread use of credit cards in China, 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, going abroad may affect normal consumption.
What should I pay attention to when signing on the back of a credit card?
Don't write too neatly. It is best for cardholders to use the same font as usual when signing, but try to avoid being too neat to be imitated! The signature on the back of the card shall not be altered, otherwise the signature is invalid. If you accidentally sign the wrong card, you can apply to the bank for a duplicate card. When you get the card, sign it first. If you sign it after a while, the card surface will be covered with oil stains, making it difficult to keep the handwriting. Try to use a ballpoint pen to prevent the signature from being blurred.
