Recurring card payments could be impacted by new security rules 

New regulations come into effect tomorrow that could impact repeating payments such as subscriptions and gym memberships

Repeating payments are now subject to the same security as one-off purchases.

Banks in Ireland are warning consumers to be prepared for changes in the way charges are taken from their bank cards by retailers or merchants for recurring charges such as gym memberships or subscriptions.

Starting Tuesday such recurring payments will be subject to the same security measures that apply for one-off online or contactless purchases.
