So they were cross checking the name on the card with the name on my passport, apparently they think it's a security check and some how not realizing that:
1. The name on the card is rather arbitrary.
2. Accepting names without spaces isn't really a good check IMO. If you wanted thing to line up exactly, spaces should be accounted for, but who cares? If it feels good...
This is a bit of a cultural thing I find common in Japan. It doesn't have to make logical sense, but it's a requirement and compliance is very important.
- nottorp 4y ago> 1. The name on the card is rather arbitrary. In the US, that is. Other places put the name on your ID on your card :)
- bamboozled 4y agoThe name is there but almost no payment processing companies that I know of care about it at all. It serves no real purpose, hence how I could get a eSIM by supplying an incorrect name.
- justsomehnguy 4y agoNot necessary, especially if you have 'extended-ASCII' or non-Latin alphabet. And overall, why do check on the card and not on ID?
- bamboozled 4y agoAre you asking me? Because I'm complaining about the system in-case you didn't notice?
- justsomehnguy 4y agoNo, the person I responded to, and honestly that was a rhetorical question.
