To determine the maximum CDV for a card, print

Note: For signatureless transactions, only the Customer
Copy is printed. To print signatureless transaction

Card masking
To reduce unauthorized card use, masking and
truncation are applied to card numbers printed
on receipts and reports. Masking replaces a card’s
numbers (except for the last 4) with “*”s
(e.g., ************1234). Truncation prints only the last
4 digits of a card (e.g., 1234). The expiry date is not
printed on any copy of any receipt.
Signatureless transactions
A customer signature is not required for swiped or
tapped Purchase transactions if the total is at or below
the maximum Signatureless Dollar Value (SDV) (see
below). Depending on how your terminal is configured,
receipts may not be printed for signatureless
transactions. If a receipt is printed, the statement
NO SIGNATURE REQUIRED appears on the receipt.
Note: Signatureless transactions for swiped purchases
apply only when a customer uses a swipe-only card, not
when the customer is instructed to swipe a chip card.
Maximum Signatureless Dollar Values (SDV)
To determine the maximum SDV for a card, print an
EMV Parameters Report (see page 18) and locate the
Contactless CVM Limit parameter under the report’s
section for the card. An SDV of 9999 means there
is no maximum limit.
