Merchant Account Blog & Credit Card Processing Blog

Welcome back!

Merchant accounts processing with 1st National Processing can put there fears aside with becomming PCI Compliant with the complicated standards recently set-forth by Visa & Mastercard. We have simplified the process, making it quite simple for our merchants who process with us.

First, we have painless online survey which will walk you through each step of completing your Self Assessment Questionaire, required for PCI Compliance. Once the “SAQ” is completed, you will receive an email if you need to perform a “Quarterly PCI Scan” of your website or network. You will then receive instructions by mail for performing any required PCI Scans.

Lastly, if you are required to perform PCI Scans the cost is included in our Annual PCI Compliance Fee of only $30.00. This minimal fee is cheap when compared to other processors, who charge $79-$99 and expect you to become PCI Compliant on your own.

If you are looking for more information on PCI Compliance, here’s a great 10 Minute Video that will educate you on the subject.

Level 2 Merchant:

According to Visa’s Website, a Level 2 merchant is described as: Any merchant-regardless of acceptance channel-processing 1,000,000 to 6,000,000 Visa transactions per year. Again, please keep in mind that this is Transaction Volume, not dollar volume.

PCI Compliance Requirments:

An annual PCI Self-Assessment Questionnaire is to be completed ans signed by the Principal or Officers of the company. Questionaire should be available by contacting your merchant services provider.

A Quarterly Network Scan provided by an Approved Scan Vendor, is also required.

Again, please direct any questions to your merchant services provider, as failure to become compliant could result is termination of your credit card processing agreement.
