Why am I being charged for PCI non-compliance when I'm paying my monthly PCI management fees?

Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of mandatory requirements that apply to all businesses taking credit and debit card payments, regardless of their size or transaction volume. Whether you are accepting card payments for the first time or switching card payment providers, it is your responsibility to ensure you remain compliant but with CardPay365, this is simple.

• When you join us, you will be sent an online PCI Compliance assessment (called a SAQ - Self Assessment Questionnaire).
• Your monthly PCI management fee includes membership to the PCI Programme and helps to manage compliance on your account.
• You will receive annual reminders to renew your PCI DSS certificate online, giving you peace of mind and ensuring you avoid non-compliance penalties.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Your monthly PCI management fee does not cover non compliance fees which can be costly to your business so you must ensure you remain compliant. Therefore, you must renew your PCI DSS certificate on an annual basis in order to remain compliant and avoid non-compliance fees from the acquirer.
