PCI Compliance

The PCI Security Standards Council was founded by the major credit card companies to educate, inform, and develop security standards in the payment card industry. PCI Data Security Standards are a set of security requirements that ALL merchants accepting credit cards must follow. These standards are meant to help protect card holder data, which in turn protects your customers and you. The Council regularly meets to update and amend the standards and PFC Payment Solutions assists you in meeting these guidelines. Non-compliance can result in stiff fines and penalties by the credit card companies and possibly result in a loss of credit card acceptance privileges.
