Mastercard announced that merchants in the U.S. and Canada can forego cardholder signatures for in-store credit and debit purchases. The goal is to speed customers through checkout lines and give merchants greater control over customer experience.
Over the past several years, Mastercard has implemented new security and authorization solutions, including the successful chip migration, tokenization and biometrics as well as early detection systems to minimize the need for cardholder signatures in fraud prevention. Zero Liability protection means that cardholders are never responsible for card compromises. In addition, contactless or tap-and-go payments are set to take off with a majority of new payment terminals equipped with the necessary hardware.
To commemorate the change, Mastercard conducted a “Signature Retirement” survey and found that consumers want to join the celebration in saying good-bye to signatures:
Mastercard was the first to announce in October 2017 that it would no longer require stores to capture signatures at checkout.
