How are the credit cards never saved, stored or seen?
Arvic is under agreement with the banks that we can never save the credit card numbers, and since the credit card numbers are only entered onto our site, you don’t have the chance to save them either. The act of storing credit card information happens when the business has to have a record of the number at least until the transaction is authorized. With our process the card number is simply ‘passed’ to your credit card company through secure passageways. The card company, in turn, simply returns our transaction ID number and an authorization code. We send this information back to the merchant. This is the only time our customer’s credit card number is ever seen and the only company that can see it, is the credit card company. Questions about Merchant accounts.
