One of the members of my 90 Minds Group had a great recommendation yesterday.
His customer was reviewing the annual charges for credit card processing when he noticed a monthly $25 fee for non-compliance with PCI requirements. Upon questioning Sage
Payment Services, this is the response that they received:
I noticed you are paying a $25 Non Compliance fee each month. In order to remove this, please go to: https://pci.trustwave.com/action.php to obtain your PCI DSS certification. Once you are certified, we will be automatically notified, and the $25 monthly fee will stop. If you have any PCI questions or need help navigating through that site, please call our 24 hour help desk at 800-239-2468.
Recommendation:
If you are using Sage Payments for processing of credit card and other payments – check your statement. If you are receiving a $25/mo fee for non-compliance – be sure to visit the link above to self-assess and possibly remove that fee.
Sage have released a great overview video that can help anyone unfamiliar with Credit Card security requirements as mandated by the payment application security standards. This Payment Card Industry recording will provide you with an overview of the principals and guidelines necessary to follow PCI security standards.
Use this video as a guide and not a “how to”. Always check with your processor for your specific requirements as well as any updates that may have been issued since Sage issued this video.
