What is the Electronic Credit Card Billing (ECCB) process?

• A. A process that sends automated credit card sales transactions generated by the GDS to credit card companies daily.
• B. A process that prints customer receipts for travelers.
• C. A process that processes refunds to the cardholder.
• D. A process that encrypts card data for storage.

Answer: (A)

ECCB is the process that collects the electronic credit card sales transactions generated by the GDS and sends them to the credit card networks/issuing banks in a daily batch for settlement. This enables those charges to appear on cardholder statements and ensures the merchant is settled for the transactions. It isn’t about printing receipts, which is a separate activity, nor about processing refunds, which follow a different flow, and it isn’t primarily about encrypting card data for storage, which is a security/PCI concern.
