In an effort to
combat credit
card fraud, Visa
& Mastercard has
made PCI
Compliance
mandatory
for every
merchant,
regardless of
your size.
Compliance
standards have
been set forth
and must be
maintained by
every merchant.
An annual
re-assessment is
also required to
remain
compliant.
GETTING
PCI COMPLIANT
Step One:
Complete
( SAQ ) Survey
Merchants
are required to
complete an
online survey (
SAQ ) to
determine their
compliance level and if any
further action
is required by
Visa Mastercard
to become PCI
Compliant.
Must Be
Processing With
1st National
Processing
Step Two:PCI
Scan Requirement
!!!
Once the SAQ is
completed
online, it will
automatically
notify the
merchant if they
require
a quarterly scan
to be compliant.
If the merchant
does requiring
scanning, they
will receive a
letter a couple
weeks after the
SAQ submission
instructing them
on how to
proceed.
In order
for us to
support the
compliance
requirements of
our merchants,
we will begin
charging an
Annual
Compliance Fee
of $30.00 to
every merchant.
This minimal fee
includes
PCI Scan if
required.
We will add this
cost to our
merchant
application in
the near future.
