PCI Compliance
ALL credit card processors are required to help your business become PCI Compliant, to help prevent your customer’s private data from falling in the wrong hands. Part of that, is providing you with a way to take the PCI DSS Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) on an annual basis.
If you process credit cards over the internet you are also required to complete quarterly scans of your computer, or internet systems. Best Card’s SAQ independent security provider is 403Labs. Unlike other merchant providers, it’s important to note that Best Card is NOT assessing any additional fees or fines for failure to complete the SAQ in a timely manner.

More About PCI Compliance
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of requirements designed to ensure that ALL companies that process, store or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment. Essentially any merchant that has a Merchant ID (MID).
The Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) was launched on September 7, 2006 to manage the ongoing evolution of the Payment Card Industry (PCI) security standards with focus on improving payment account security throughout the transaction process. The PCI DSS is administered and managed by the PCI SSC (www.pcisecuritystandards.org), an independent body that was created by the major payment card brands (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and JCB.).
It is important to note, the payment brands and acquirers are responsible for enforcing compliance, not the PCI council. Click the below links for more information from the card associations.
Best Card’s Added Security
As the payment industry becomes under even more scrutiny to protect credit card information more aggressively, Best Card has gone above and beyond to comply with all payment card guidelines. And, we’ve been able to do it more efficiently than our competitors, saving our customers money.
Best Card is currently working with a 3rd party security company to implement valuable training for our customers. We want to educate our merchants, to prevent a security breach that could cost a business owner not only money, but their livelihood.
To get a better understanding of why Best Card is working so hard to protect your data, please take some time to view this video, produced by the Retail Solutions Providers Association.
