Master Card and Visa will be issuing the unendorsed cards. This is done for accommodating the changes in the payment culture. There are chances that you may already have an idea about what these cards are and how they look like. These latest unendorsed cards come with a smooth and flat surface. This is a change from the old method of having raised symbols and numbers. This increases the security of the card-holders as the imprints of such cards are very difficult to make.

These Unendorsed cards are similar to the ones which are still in use and accepted everywhere. So the merchants have to consider these latest unendorsed credit cards as a prepaid, debit or credit card.

There is only one difference in them. The information on the card is indent or thermal and laser-engraved. The information on the cards includes security character, validity date, PAN and the name of the card-holder.

As the attest Unendorsed cards do not have raised characters like the other cards it will be difficult to create the imprint. These mobile merchants will have to face the risk of a chargeback by the issuer of the cards. This happens if the customer disputes the charge.

Upgrading of the payment system is the most suitable method for these mobile merchants to over come this problem. The system can be upgraded to one wireless terminal. These can read the strip on the card. This will help them to obtain the full revenue for the transactions of credit cards. This is an easy step and can be done without much effort.
