RBI wants you to memorise all your debit, credit card numbers, expiry and CVV | Here's why
India TV NewsMemorising 16-digits debit cards or credit cards numbers is a difficult task. All this to prevent online merchants, e-commerce websites, and payment aggregators to store the card details of a customer online or on their servers or databases. The revised regulations prevent payment aggregators, e-commerce websites and online merchants like Amazon to Flipkart to Google Pay to PayTM to Netflix from storing the information of a customer’s card on their servers or databases. This means that rather than just having to enter your CVV to make a payment, customers will have to enter all your card details — name, 16-digit card number and expiry date, CVV — from scratch every time they would want to make an online payment.
