A question for everyone, but especially for those who uses credit card overseas

You know when you apply the card, you can have a name different than your real name?

Do you follow your real name?

Do you put initial or fake or nickname? In this case, has there been any issue?

I'm using fake name so concerned if it's usable or not, or else better I change first..

Huh? Not auto follow ic name?

put other christian name but surname same.

i use my angmoh name, which is not even on my IC

no one asks me about it before tho

I think shouldn't be a problem... mine's abbreviated on the card...

make up a memorable name or something...

ts cc card name is nadakashi right

also can in malaysia lah
i just put something like GE Lim for example

If goes overseas and buy big ticket item. The shop will want to verify your card name vs passport. Oh wait. Here all T20, surely. Know this right?

like you are Tan Ching Ching ; you can have your CC printed name William Tan

I put my initials.

A bit regret though. Should put my full name since every time I buy things online using CC I have to think the name I put on my CC.

Here we have IC to do verification but some country there is no such thing. If you are foreigner, then passport would be the ID. Anyway, no ID required. Your nickname is registered with card company along with real name. That is verification by card company.

I don't think there will be any problem because they just rely on the chip. If owner reported stolen card, then the ID in the chip will get banned and any cloned card cannot be used. The shop will just follow standard procedure by card company like hologram and some other basic stuff to verify that the card is genuine. The rest of the risk on card company. Otherwise what is the advantage on the shop side if they also get charge for certain percentage for ease of business.

yeah. lorem ipsum is the name.

No

they no kesah . janji cc can go through , coz they will use ur passport name & address for tax refund .

i put real name...make myself looks cool with it

Last ti,e even worse when whenever card is used, there was no chip. All merchants do just put on machine with carbon paper on it and glide a roller to imprint detail printed on card. That was it. Small shops with no online access were target. I believe the card company still pay the shop and absorb the loss.

I put the name as "Jimbalakkadi Bamba" on my cc as my real name is different
