An issue number is a supplementary number to the account number of certain debit cards, primarily United Kingdom ones such as Switch and Maestro. Because the bulk of the account number is determined by the bank account number, the card number cannot be changed if the card is lost or stolen (without changing the underlying bank account number), and instead the issue number is changed.

Famous quotes containing the words issue and/or number:
“I cannot wish the fault undone, the issue of it being so proper.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“My tendency to nervousness in my younger days, in view of the fact of a number of near relatives on both my father’s and mother’s side of the house having become insane, gave some serious uneasiness. I made up my mind to overcome it.... In the cross-examination of witnesses before a crowded court-house ... I soon found I could control myself even in the worst of testing cases. Finally, in battle.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
