- Credit Cards Don’t Require Signatures. So Why Do We Still Sign? Oct 14, 2024 by Oyin Adedoyin in the Wall Street Journal (PAYWALL)
- “Signing a check at a restaurant or for a rudimentary purchase paid by credit card is still incredibly common, but here’s the thing: Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express all dropped the requirements to sign back in 2018. It’s been genuine years, and still people continue to unnecessarily sign papers that will never be read, scrutinized, seen or even required under audit. They’re not used to stop fraud, and it’s literally fine to leave without signing, but here’s the thing — there’s no way I’m gonna stop signing. That would be weird. I’m not gonna be the guy who drunkenly explains to a bartender at last call that no, trust me man, you don’t actually have to sign anymore, I read it on the internet.”
