Card Information Security

To reduce the risk of fraudulent card use, masking and/or truncation are applied to card numbers and expiry dates printed on receipts and reports.

Masking replaces a card's numbers (except for the last 4) with *'s. For example, the card number 1234 5678 9012 3456 is printed as ************3456.

If a card number is truncated, only the last 4 digits are printed. For example, the card number 1234 5678 9012 3456 would appear as 3456.

Card Numbers on Receipts

Numbers of debit, credit, gift, and loyalty cards are always masked on both Merchant and Customer copies of transaction receipts.

Note: Each Moneris Gift Card program and Moneris Loyalty program can have its own card masking rules that are configured on the Moneris host.

Card Numbers on Reports

Card numbers are truncated on all reports containing transaction details.

Reports that require the manager password, e.g. Batch Review, display the entire card number but the resulting report prints the truncated card number.

Expiry Date on Receipts

The credit card expiry date is not printed on receipts for credit card transactions.

Expiry Date on Reports

The credit card expiry date is printed in full on all reports containing transaction details.
