Why is my name in ALL CAPS on my credit card, or bank account etc?

Question

Doesnt ALL CAPS mean its a corporation?

Answer 1

Two reasons:

- The "lowest common denominator" technology used by all banks is OLD, with a capital OLD.

- Bank accounts aren't case sensitive - "Mark Harrison" is the same as "MARK HARRISON" - you can write either on your cheque to me and my bank will accept it.

Answer 2

it will be to make it easier to read, because there is sometimes confusion over lower case letters, i never did know why, i just spose its easier to read upper case letters.

on your statements/cheques and stuff like that it will be that they are read by a computer which can only read upper case letters

Answer 3

I think it is so they can read it better, sometimes the little letters gets smugged in coping.
