7.16 POS Terminal and Terminal Availability
The Corporation strongly recommends that if a POS Terminal generates a
Merchant copy of the Cardholder receipt, the Merchant copy should also reflect
only the last four (4) digits of the PAN, replacing all preceding digits with fill
characters that are neither blank spaces nor numeric characters, such as “X,”
“*,” or “#.”
Solely with respect to any deployed POS Terminal currently producing
Cardholder receipts that properly reflect only the last four (4) digits of the PAN,
the POS Terminal software changes required to exclude the Card expiration
date from the Cardholder receipt may be implemented with a future software
update, but no later than 31 December 2010.
NOTE
A regional Rule variation on this topic appears in Chapter 17, “Europe Region,”
of this rulebook.
