Hmm.. when I wrote code to directly talk to the banks we had to send it and the name would cause problems if it didnt match. This was not to a gateway this was software for the gateways. And now with fraud concerns being higher I would assume its more critical. Keep in mind this is not for transactions where the card is present, on those the physical aspect of the card is used (however secure that is supposed to be). -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel UK +44 870 340 4605 Germany +49 801 777 555 3402 US +1 360 207 0479 or +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378
