PCI Compliance

It is our commitment to participants to ensure that the software and services used to process transactions are compliant with the PCI Security Standards Council’s standards. Both ePAY and our processors are certified annually as “PCI Compliant,” with all required scanning completed by an Approved Scanning Vendor (“ASV”). This includes an audit of our ePAY e-commerce application, which helps remove the burden of e-commerce PCI validation for our participants.

In line with industry best practices, our online solutions offer transparency to your constituents. When they click away from your website to our secure hosted page, they are notified. This, in turn, helps lessen your PCI burden to the lowest level possible for e-commerce. Learn More PCI compliance (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard).
