Are You Protecting your Customers
Credit Card Information?
How Compliance May Affect Your
Business!
The opportunity to process credit/debit cards is a great
way to grow your business and give your customers the payment
options they have become accustomed to. In order to make the
most of this opportunity, your customers have to trust that
their card information will be handled in a responsible manner
and that they can safely utilize these cards for purchases.
We all share in the opportunity to demonstrate that credit/debit
cards are a safe and convenient way to pay.
Merchants today are at risk for lawsuits and fines from the
card associations for any type of data breach. In addition,
the reputation of your business can be placed at serious risk
if it becomes publicly known that your customers’ card
information has been compromised.
Please help us assist you with your compliance efforts by
following through our Compliance Checklist. The checklist
will guide you through important issues that you need to be
aware of and will point you to the specific corrective actions
you should take. The checklist only has three steps:
Choose your payment acceptance solution
Verify your paper credit card receipts are truncated
in compliance with FACTA requirements
Verify that all credit card data is being handled
in compliance with PCI requirements
Again, we strongly recommend you review this information carefully
and follow through on the appropriate steps to ensure your
business is in compliance.
