Another way to #BeYou: T-Mobile brings True Name® by Mastercard® to T-Mobile MONEY
  • What’s the news: T-Mobile MONEY customers can now use True Name, a feature that lets customers display their chosen name on their T-Mobile MONEY debit card.
  • Why it matters: Transgender and non-binary Americans face substantial challenges and even discrimination and harassment when names on their bank cards don’t match who they truly are.
