Forward digital sign credit card

Hey WalletHubbers!   Today we’ll help you decide if you should  sign the back of your credit card or not.  The bottom line is that you should sign the  back of your credit card, or at least write   “See ID,” as putting nothing could  leave you more vulnerable to fraud. Those are the three main options for  what to do with the signature field   on the back of a credit card: sign it, write  "See ID" instead or simply leave it blank.   So let’s walk through the fraud protection  and hassle each option comes with. First off, rest assured that no matter  what you do, all three options come with   full $0 fraud liability coverage, since all  credit cards come with that automatically. But when you sign the back of  your credit card, you also get   moderate fraud protection because a thief might  have to attempt to duplicate your signature,   and a mismatch could kill the transaction.   Signing your credit card doesn’t lead to extra  hassle at check out, either, since merchants are   not allowed to decline transactions when customers  don’t provide identification for signed cards. When you write “See ID”” instead,  you get high fraud protection   because thieves could encounter strict  merchants demanding ID verification.   But that will obviously create more hassle at  checkout for you, too, since merchants in this   scenario are technically required to check a  customer's ID before accepting the transaction. When you don’t do either - sign your  name or write “See ID” - you have   low fraud protection because thieves  could simply sign the card themselves   and then be able to replicate the  signature flawlessly on receipts. But of course, you’ve probably noticed by now  that all of this doesn’t matter as much anymore.   Merchants rarely check the back of your card these  days. Knowing what to put there still might save   you from some hassle in the future, though. Now that you know what to do with the back   of a credit card, it's time to  make sure you have the right   credit card backing you up!
