Perhaps it's different in the US, but the overwhelming majority of people in the UK pay regular bills, such as internet bills, by direct debit - a regular payment taken directly from a bank account. Naturally, in order to do that, the ISP has to store the bank details. I'm certainly not aware of this having caused any problems for anybody - I pay pretty much all my bills by direct debit, because it's the most convenient method of doing so.
