Private label debit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Private label debit refers to a merchant-branded card or mobile payment app that utilizes an automated clearing house (ACH) to directly debit consumer checking accounts.[1][2] Used in a closed-loop environment, private label debit offers secure transactions through PIN protection or tokenization.[3][4]

Overview

[edit]

Private label debit programs have become increasingly popular in the United States, totaling roughly $13 billion in payment value.[5] Such programs are offered by well-known brands, including Target, Kroger, and Circle K, as a consumer loyalty strategy.[6][7]

Companies such as ZipLine, First Data, and BIM Networks implement private label debit programs for such brands.[8][9][10]
