Mother's Maiden Name Contest

Most all banks use mother's maiden name for verification. In case your wallet is lost or stollen, most people would not have this information in their purse or wallet

I want to first begin with the definition of mother's maiden name so that when you credit card holders decide to call your bank, you will know what it is:

Mother's Maiden Name: This is not your mother's first name, nor is it her married name, it is the last name that she was given at birth.
