Double Swiping Of Payment Cards By Some Shops Could Be Dangerous
Some shops have formed the habit of ‘double swiping’ payment cards at the electronic cash register after obtaining the initial authorization from the payment card issuer to collect details and personal data for purposes related to internal accounting or marketing, says Secretary General of the Union of Kuwait Banks Dr Hamad Al-Hasawi.
Dr Al-Hasawi declared the practice could be dangerous to the card user, especially if the systems of the shops are hacked or in case of data leakage. He said an incident compelled the monitoring agencies in some countries to prohibit the procedure.
He explained that double swiping contravenes the payment card industry data security standard (PCIDSS) as it saves data on the systems at the points of sale. He reiterated the local banks and joint automatic banking services companies (K-Net) are obligated to abide by standards, which implies the payment procedure should conform to standards of the point of sale (POS) and automated system of the bank that issued the card.
