Clients wants me to do this for a project and I'm looking for an excuse to say no and steer him toward a more conventional payment solution.

Basically, the clients wants an online form in which the bank # and the account # is either sent to him in an email or stored securely somewhere where he can access this information as needed.

Even assuming this is encrypted, is this legal in the US?

There is a wealth of information concerning what you have to do to store or process credit cards, but in all the searches I've done I haven't seen similar rules for bank accounts.
