Account Holder’s Consent

In the payment processing industry, Account Holder’s Consent refers to the explicit authorization given by a customer (the account holder) to a merchant or payment processor to initiate transactions from their bank account or payment method. This consent is required for various transactions, including one-time purchases, recurring payments, and pre-authorized debits.

To comply with industry regulations, businesses must obtain and document clear consent, whether through electronic agreements, signed authorizations, or secure authentication methods. Failure to secure proper consent can result in chargebacks, disputes, and non-compliance with payment network rules.
