Can a merchant store your credit card information?

Posted on January 27th, 2010 by admin

I went to my dentist and was asked to provide my credit card information for them to store in their database in case they needed to bill me for something. As far as I know, they are not allowed to just store my credit card information.

Thanks for the help, my state in case that makes a difference is Pennsylvania.

Yes, they can and usually do store credit card infomation. It’s a security measure for the merchant. If you don’t pay a bill, they’ll charge the account on file.
