MasterCard to allow transgenders to use their 'true name'

As part of the company’s LGBTQ inclusion initiatives, Mastercard recently announced that it will allow transgenders and non-binary people to use their chosen names instead of their legal names on the card. The company said in statement that for many in the LGBTQIA+ community, the name on their credit or debit card does not reflect their true identity. According to a 2015 survey by the National Center for Transgender Equality, about 32% of the people who have shown ID with a name or gender that did not match their identity reported being harassed, attacked or denied services.
