Handling Bank information on Website (Not Storing)

102 Views Asked by At

I have website using MEAN stack and is accessed over HTTPS. I want the user to input their bank account details but I don't want to store the bank details (since I think there may be liability and security concerns). The information will then be sent to a 3rd party website like Transferwise where I can send over money to the user bank account.

My question is are there any security precautions that I need to take when I have the user input data on my website?

You have asked a very broad question and thus will get a broad answer in return. Not persisting any data in the database helps a lot, but you could still fail due to logging sensitive data out on your server side or due to server/TLS misconfigurations.

You probably would want to be PCI DSS compliant (or at least be aware that such a thing exists and how your application relates to this standard). Fulfilling OWASP ASVS at least Level 1 requirements would be good as well.
