How to use your preferred name on your credit/debit card

Understand: the bank still needs your legal name

It is important to understand that some banks will require you to open the account first and then submit a request for a new card with your preferred name, others allow you to do this during the account opening process.

The rule requires banks, credit unions and credit card issuers to establish a customer identification program to comply with government regulations.
