Humboldt Merchant Services is dedicated to ensuring that all merchants and their equipment are PCI compliant. We are continuously striving to make certain that the cardholder data of our merchants and their patrons is safe and secure within the PCI DSS guidelines.
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of comprehensive requirements designed to ensure the safety and security of cardholder data against credit card fraud.
It is the responsibility of all entities handling cards and cardholder information to be PCI Compliant. Regardless the number or size of transactions, all organizations and/or merchants with a Merchant Identification Number (MID) that process, store and/or transmit cardholder data are required to comply with PCI DSS.
Humboldt Merchant Services has made a significant investment to ensure that we, as well as our merchants are PCI DSS certified. We have a devoted and committed staff of experienced and industry knowledgeable representatives to help with merchant PCI Compliance and/or issues.
Partnering with Humboldt Merchant Services will give you and your business access to the necessary tools and resources to prevent errors, reduce fraud, and become PCI Compliant. Together we can make a difference and take a stand against credit card fraud.
Your customers rely on you to safeguard their payment card data; failure to do so could result in Association fines, legal and financial liabilities, and irreparable damage to your business and reputation. Given this, it’s critical you understand the basics of information security and comply with security mandates that apply to your processing environment.
