Neumann" <neumann () CSL sri com> Subject: Visa moves to improve customers' privacy Visa International (with over 1 billion credit cards in circulation) is introducing a new company policy today prohibiting the display of all but the last four digits of a credit-card number on consumer receipts, a move intended to better protect customers' privacy and reduce identity theft. The policy will also remove the expiration date from receipts. The newly proposed Senate Identity Theft Protection Act would make this policy mandatory for all credit-card companies. (Since 2000, identity theft has consistently been the most common complaint to the Federal Trade Commission, with over 160,000 complaints in 2002.)
