Automatic Payment & Credential Storage Policy
Last Revised: March 2026
Purpose & Scope
This policy governs the setup, maintenance, and storage of payment credentials for clients (Client or You) of Equifax Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, Equifax). It provides a convenient, automated billing experience (“Autopay”) while helping protect the security of sensitive financial data.
Autopay Enrollment Options
Voluntary Enrollment: You may elect to enroll in Autopay for recurring service fees, subscriptions, or invoices.
Mandatory Enrollment: Clients with a selection of “Autopay” within your Equifax Services Agreement are required to maintain a valid, authorized payment method on file and remain enrolled in Autopay as a condition of service.
Authorization for Recurring Charges
By enrolling in Autopay, You authorize Equifax and its service providers to:
Store the provided payment credentials (credit card, debit card or bank account via ACH/ electronic check) securely via token in the Equifax payment system.
Charge the stored payment method for the full balance due on either the payment due date (which typically consists of a thirty (30) day period unless otherwise set forth in your Equifax services agreement) or selected payment date, whichever comes first. You understand that the amount charged may vary based on actual usage, service plan, overage, price increase, or applicable taxes.
Credential Security & Retention
Storage: Payment data is stored using tokenization or strong encryption. Equifax and its service providers do not store full CVV codes or raw card numbers on local servers.
Updates: You are responsible for maintaining updated and valid payment information. Failed transactions due to expired credentials may result in service interruption, late fees or possible cancellation.
Change in Payment Method. You may update your Autopay payment method at any time through the Online Account Portal. If You update the payment information, You authorize us to charge the new payment method for all future recurring payments. Changes to payment method may take up to 3 days to complete and may not be used for the current payment if the due date is prior to the effectiveness of payment method change.
Card Account Updater Service. Equifax participates in the Visa Account Updater (VAU) and Mastercard Automatic Billing Care (ABC) programs. By maintaining your automatic payment setup, you authorize us to continue charging the updated card to help prevent service interruptions.
Failed Transactions & Secondary Methods. If an automatic payment is declined for any reason (including expiration or insufficient funds), we will attempt to contact you via the email or other contact methods on file. We reserve the right to re-attempt the charge for certain failed transactions within 3 days. You are responsible for any late fees, service disruptions or any other related charges resulting from a failed payment.
Cancellation & Revocation
Right to Revoke: This authorization remains in effect until You cancel it. You may cancel your Autopay authorization at any time through the iReceivables portal. Please refer to our Invoice and Payment Webpage for access to the portal and our user guide. See Cancellation Policy.
Mandatory Enrollment: For clients in Mandatory Enrollment groups, revoking Autopay authorization without providing an alternative authorized method may result in service termination. See Cancellation Policy.
