There is one store in my neigbourhod where the payment terminals show this field (my full name) on the screen during checkout. I was very surprised when I noticed this the first time.
But apparrently not all card issuers fill the field with correct data. One card, a prepaid Visa from a big fintech, has "N/A" programmed in the field.
