Paid Mail: Account Updater shares registration data; small card-check debits
For paid-for Mail Services, Yahoo may subscribe to a third-party Account Updater service that can attempt to refresh expired card numbers with replacements. By registering, you consent to Yahoo disclosing your registration information to that service, for use solely in connection with Account Updater, and to Yahoo’s receipt and use of updated card information from your financial institution. Yahoo may also verify card validity, including debiting a small amount and immediately crediting it back and asking you to confirm the amount, and says it will use this only to screen for fraud.

To protect against potential fraud, we may take steps to verify the validity of the credit card information you provide to us. The verification process may include debiting a small amount from your credit card account and then immediately crediting the same amount back, as well as asking you to verify the amount debited in order to confirm that you are in possession of your credit card. We will only use this process to screen for fraud.
