What is PCI Compliance?
PCI Compliance (PCI) defines the standard for securing Visa and MasterCard cardholder data, wherever it is located. Compliance is required of all entities storing, processing, or transmitting cardholder data. Acquiring Banks must comply with PCI Compliance and are responsible for ensuring the compliance of their merchants for all payment channels, including retail (brick-and-mortar), mail/telephone-order, and ecommerce.
