Verification Of Callers
True/False..When a cardholder's name is hyphenated or they have multiple last names, they MUST verify both names
False, the customer can give either name or both names. Examples:
True/False...If a cardholder's name is listed as initial only, stating their full name is sufficient for identification
The customer MUST provide the initials not their full name. If they state the full name, ask them for the name as it appears on their card/statement (e.g., name on account is C R Smith, we cannot accept Clark Smith as the Cardmember (CM); CM must give C R Smith).
True/False... If the name listed has a first name and middle initial, we DO need to verify the middle initial also
False, you do not need to verify the middle initial.
True/False.. PCM/SCM can give permission for us to speak with AU/TP for future calls but only for certain actions.
False, for the PCM/SCM's protection, they are not able to give permission to speak to an AU/TP for future use, permission can only be given for the same call.
If the PCM/SCM/AU is having a difficult time reading their account number or expiration date, we should do what?
Offer to send a new card (emergency delivery, if necessary). NEVER confirm what they have as the account number/expiration date is correct or not. (Note: there are exceptions to this)
AU wants their name removed but doesn’t know full account number, customer’s name or security information, etc.- Do we still need to verify or can we remove with out verification being completed?
Verification isn’t required
True/False.. During OOB, we should release the email and phone number listed to PCM/SCM so they can choose the best one for us to send code to.
False!! Do NOT release any part of the email address or phone number to the customer, have them read and confirm their personal information to you.
Is there special handling if you receive a call with a recording stating the call is either pre-paid or collect?
No. We should accept the call, follow standard verification, and handle as normal. No special handling needed.
True/False.. We must treat a Relay Service/TRS call as though we are speaking to the PCM and not a TP.
True, Relay service/TRS calls should be handled like we are speaking to the customer, not a TP.
True/False.. If an account has Account Notes stating a TP has ongoing permission, we can honor that today.
False, delete the Account Note and notify the caller we are no longer able to give TP information unless PCM/SCM gives permission on the same call.
If TP is transferred via cold connect from another dept and memos state TP's name and what permissions PCM/SCM granted, do we need to speak with and have PCM grant permission again since the call was transferred to a new agent?
If third-party is connected over by another Department, the memos or Account Notes MUST state what permission the customer granted and the third-party’s name. If that information isn’t included, we must speak to the customer.

When we ask the verbal password, if cm provides multiple answers, can we confirm which answer was correct?
Yes, but only if asked.
True/False... The IVR may verify the cm by voice and inform the cm "just so you know, this call may be monitored and recorded, and your voice may be used for verification."
