Acceptance Environment Acceptance Mark Display Requirements
Mastercard Consumer-Presented
The Acceptance Mark must be displayed in
QR- enabled POS Terminals
accordance with the Mastercard Consumer-
Presented QR Branding Standards, which
may be found at brand.mastercard.com.
NOTE: Refer to Rule 5.12.1 in the “Additional U.S. Region and U.S. Territory Rules” chapter for
a variation to the requirement.

Other acceptance marks, symbols, logos, or combinations thereof may appear in
the same material or image with the Acceptance Marks, provided visual parity is
maintained and no other acceptance mark, symbol, or logo displayed is more
prominent or likely to cause confusion concerning the acceptance of Cards.
Each Acceptance Mark must be displayed as a free-standing mark, meaning that
an Acceptance Mark must not be displayed so as to suggest that it is either a
secondary means of payment or exclusively linked to another acceptance brand.
NOTE: Refer to Rule 4.6 for more information about the Corporation’s signage system and the
proper display of Acceptance Marks. Refer to Rule 5.12.1 in “Additional U.S. Region and
U.S. Territory Rules” for modifications on the use of the Mastercard Brand Mark.

An Acquirer must ensure that each of its Merchants complies with the Card
acceptance requirements set forth in this Rule with respect to the Acceptance
Marks specified in the Merchant Agreement.
5.11.1 Honor All Cards

A Merchant must honor all valid Cards without discrimination when properly
presented for payment.
A Merchant must maintain a policy that does not discriminate among customers
seeking to make purchases with a Card.
A Merchant that does not deal with the public at large (for example, a private club)
is considered to comply with this Rule if it honors all valid and properly

authorization before completing a Transaction.
Refer to the Transaction Processing Rules manual for authorization requirements.
5.11.4 Additional Cardholder Identification

A Merchant may request but must not require a Cardholder to provide additional
identification information as a condition of Card acceptance, unless such
information is required to complete the Transaction, such as for shipping purposes,
or the Standards specifically permit or require such information to be collected.
A Merchant in a country or region that supports use of the Mastercard Address
Verification Service (AVS) for Mastercard POS Transactions may require the
Cardholder’s ZIP or postal code to complete a Cardholder-Activated Terminal
(CAT) Transaction, or the Cardholder’s address and ZIP or postal code to complete

5.11.6 Merchant Business Logos

The Corporation may from time to time make additional data available to
the Issuer in order to enrich the posting of Transaction data with publicly
available business information pertaining to a Merchant or Sub merchant.
For purposes of example and not limitation, such information may include
geographic mappings of physical business addresses, publicly disclosed contact
information, sales policies, and other such publicly available business information.
To enable greater transparency and reduce fraud for the benefit of all participants
in the Interchange System, the Acquirer must refer all of its Merchants and
Sub merchants to the Mastercard Logo Microsite (https://logo.ethoca.com) for
purposes of providing the Corporation with business logos for use by the
Corporation in accordance with the agreed terms and conditions from the
Mastercard Logo Microsite.
