Discover and MasterCard Signature Policy Change

Effective October 25, 2007, retail associates at Post Offices™ and postal retail units must ensure that the signature on the following cards matches the name embossed on the front of the card, the signature on the sig­nature panel on the back of card, and the signature on the credit card receipt: American Express, Carte Blanche, Din­ers Club, Discover Card, and MasterCard. All three must match. Visa and JCB are the only cards for which the sig­nature on the receipt must match only the signature on the back of the card.

We will incorporate the revision into the next online edi­tion of the Field Accounting Procedures on the Postal Ser­vice™ Intranet:
