Interchange does not send out credit card details in the clear, either
by default or via an option you can switch. Interchange does not even
store credit card numbers in a user's session.
While I'm sure that this facility could be hacked in, I'm also sure that
you'd be making a mistake by doing so. Do you make use of a secure web
server when collecting credit card details? If so then ask yourself why.
