Newest Creditcard Regulations - Effectively Kill rebills?
 

I got a letter today outlining new regulations from creditcard companies, and while most was standard stuff (reporting security incidents, destorying outdated cards, etc....), one point stuck out to me:

"Do not store the following under any circumstance:
- Card-validation code (three-digit value printed on the signature panel of a mastercard, visa, discover, JCB or Diners Club card, and four-digit code printed on the front of an American Express card."

Wouldn't this effectively kill rebills? I know some banks will still let cards through without the 3-digit code, but in most cases transaction will be declined without it.

If this policy is enforced (seems doubtful though), I think it would effectively kill creditcard rebills....don't you ???

Who cares, lets talk about tits.

in all seriousness tho I do think this would affect rebills. I'm not sure how ti works on the processing end but I'm sure we will hear more about this soon

:thumbsup

The security code isn't needed when you process a rebill and it's nothing new that you can't store that code.

As I mentioned some processors/banks don't require the code, but most at this moment will reject the transaction with error "Missing cv2 number" or the like.

Depends on the scrubbing level and the processor in question I guess.

Great question though.



where can I get more bouncing boobies?

i need more info on the source of those tits - perfect for a project that i am working on

this is what were talking about.

Yes they'll reject it if it's an initial auth, but a rebill isn't the same kind of transaction.

wish I could help ya out man but this is just some random stuff I got from the internet.

As long as mainstream companies can process rebills via creditcards there is nothing to worry about.

And I don't forsee the day coming when AOL is not allowed to charge its members via credit cards on a recurring basis.

yep the whole economy would change overnight it rebills stopped. think about all the services that use rebills..

That's why I said I'td be doubtful they would ever enforce it :winkwink:

True but I've experienced more than a few merchant accounts who reject rebills off the bat if no cvv number is provided with the transaction.

We've had/have approx 15 merchant accounts over the past 3 years, so I've seen a wide range...

Now this is a cool thread. It's the perfect mix of business talk and tits. Put this one in the hall of fame. :glugglug

Hi,

We are able to send a rebilling code through the authroization network that let's them know a charge is a rebill so the CVV2 code is not needed. Storing CVV2 is not necessary and against regulations.

Thank you, Mitch Farber

Ok, now that Mitch has answered the billing question, we know this thread is a hall of famer!

Hey Mitch,

I guess just some companies around the globe aren't aware it isn't mandatory and reject the transaction....guess that says something about them business-wise hehe

I can't wait to start accepting Euros on the new IwantU with you guys :thumbsup

You up for more poker in Vegas? :Graucho

Hi Keith,

I am certainly up for some poker with you.

Are you working on a new account with our merchant services department?

Mitch
