Comment on Ask HN: Our payment processor collects unnecessary information

Comments

We've always had to collect billing address and zip code when running transactions, even with Stripe. Not sure phone number is required, but I can understand why they would ask for it.

You would be surprised at the amount of fraud these companies get so it's understandable why they ask for the details. And I think customers are use to entering this information.

Thanks a lot for the insight.
