Card Number Masking

To reduce the risk of fraudulent card use, masking and/or truncation is applied to card numbers: Only a portion of the card number is masked with an '*' ( i.e., an asterisk is printed in place of the remaining digits of the number). The expiry date is not printed on any receipt copy.

IMPORTANT:  Do not disable Merchant Receipt Card Number Masking.  If Merchant Receipt Card Number Masking is disabled, the Card number will be fully displayed on the Merchant copy of the receipt.

On Receipts

Card masking is dependent on payment type (i.e., credit or debit) and the card issuer.

For credit (and some debit chip) cards:

[Cardholder copy] The card number will appear masked as ***************1234 while no Expiry date appears at all.  

[Merchant copy]  The card number will appear as 1234***********1111 while the Expiry date will appear masked as ****.  

For most debit cards:

[Cardholder copy] The card number will appear masked as 1234567891*********.

[Merchant copy] The card number will appear masked as 1234***********1111.

For loyalty and gift cards:

[Cardholder copy] The card number will appear masked as ***************1234 and no Expiry date appears.

[Merchant copy] The card number will appear masked as 1234***********1111 and no Expiry date appears.

For Air Miles Rewards cards:

An Air Miles Rewards card number will appear fully as 12345678911.
