Require consent to store a member's credit card information
We have enhanced Online Signup and MYiCLUBonline to comply with Visa's mandate regarding obtaining consent for stored credentials.
A stored credential is information (including account numbers and/or payment tokens) that is stored by a merchant or its agent to process future purchases for a cardholder. Payment credentials received by merchants from third parties are not considered to be stored credentials.
About the Stored Credential Requirement
According to Visa's mandate, merchants and their third-party agents, payment facilitators, or staged digital wallet operators that offer cardholders the opportunity to store their credentials on file must:
- Obtain cardholder consent for initial store of credentials.
- Use appropriate data values to identify initial storage and usage of stored payment credentials.
- Disclose to cardholders how those credentials will be used for recurring billing, Card on File, etc.
- Notify cardholders when any changes are made to the terms of use.
- Inform the issuer via a transaction that payment credentials are now stored on file.
- Identify transactions with appropriate indicators when using stored credentials.
