- onion2k 7y agoThat depends on where you live.
- _Microft 7y agoThanks for this bit of information, now the raised print on credit cards finally makes sense.
- C1sc0cat 7y agoSo Sweden has gone almost cashless but they still have a manual process relying on embossed numbers? In the UK embossed numbers on cards are gone now
- dfawcus 7y ago> In the UK embossed numbers on cards are gone now Nope. The only ones I know of which do not use embossed numbers are Starling Bank, and (for premier customers) RBS and NatWest. All bar one of my cards is embossed. Supposedly as of January last year: "Lloyds, Barclays, Nationwide, HSBC and Santander all say they currently have no plans to introduce such cards." So which ones are you thinking of where the embossed numbers have gone?
