Payment information is the data that is required for customers to make a purchase online. This includes entering any payment methods: credit or debit card, a direct debit from a bank account, a digital wallet such as PayPal or Apple Pay, etc. Depending on the payment method, other required information can include the user’s full name, credit card number, security code, and expiration date, as well as billing address, account number, routing number, and other information. Any business that has access to customers’ payment information should ensure PCI compliance so that this sensitive information is securely protected.
