ECCB is a program whereby automated credit card sales transactions issued through a GDS are transmitted to credit card companies on a daily basis. ECCB stands for which description?

• A. Electronic Credit Card Billing
• B. Electronic Card Chargeback Billing
• C. Electronic Client Billing
• D. Electronic Commerce Billing

Answer: (A)

Electronic Credit Card Billing is about electronically sending the daily credit card sales transactions (generated through a GDS) to the credit card networks for settlement. This naming fits because the focus is on billing and transmitting card transactions to card issuers, rather than on handling chargebacks, billing clients directly, or general e‑commerce billing. The other options don’t fit the described function: electronic card chargeback billing would imply processing disputes after a sale; electronic client billing refers to billing individuals or accounts rather than transmitting card transactions to networks; electronic commerce billing is a broader term for online sales billing and isn’t specific to credit card transactions routed through a GDS for daily settlement.
