What it is

By providing payment card details, users authorize Walmart to store and use that card for future purchases on Walmart.com and affiliated sites. If the user's bank participates in account updater services, Walmart's system will automatically receive updated card numbers and expiration dates unless the user opts out by contacting their issuing bank.
