BUSINESS REGULATIONSMISCELLANEOUS > Automated financial transactions.
Short Summary
This section of the Revised Code of Washington, under the category of BUSINESS REGULATIONSMISCELLANEOUS » Automated financial transactions, governs the restrictions on credit and debit card receipts. It applies to persons that accept credit or debit cards for the transaction of business. The legislature finds that credit and debit cards are important tools for consumers but can be fraudulently used by unscrupulous persons. To protect consumers, this section limits the information that can appear on a card receipt. It prohibits printing more than the last five digits of the card account number or the card expiration date on a credit or debit card receipt. These restrictions apply to all receipts kept by the person or provided to the cardholder. However, these restrictions do not apply to transactions where the card number is recorded by handwriting or by an imprint or copy of the credit or debit card. This act takes effect July 1, 2001.
