No Effort PCI Compliance
NO effort PCI Compliance - No one should come between you and your customers...except for us! Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance is mandatory and can be expensive, complicated and result in serious fines. It is all about handling credit card information in a secure and often complex encrypted manner. Using United Connect® payment software (PCI Level 1), we securely collect all credit card information directly from your customers providing your business 100% PCI compliance without any effort or imposition to you or your customers.
Challenge
“How can my business EASILY obtain end-to-end PCI compliance, without costing a fortune, imposing on my customers, or impacting my operations?”
Particularly for MOTO and ecommerce merchants, PCI compliance is often complex and requires many areas of technical expertise. True end-to-end compliance not only affects service providers but requires scrutiny into the merchants’ in house payment processes and procedures. A merchant using a PCI Level 1 service provider does not guarantee end-to-end PCI compliance. Merchants often accept and retain credit card data in faxes, spreadsheets, and emails and store them in their in house order management systems for current payments as well as for ease of future recurring customer payments.
Furthermore, as customers become more and more aware of ID and credit card theft, they will gravitate towards merchants that they are confident are handling their information securely.
Solution
No one should come between you and your customers...except for us! Using the proprietary United Connect® payment software (PCI Level 1), we securely collect all credit card information directly from your customers providing you 100% PCI compliance without any effort or imposition to your customers. Our "chameleon" website technology allows our secure website to look like it belongs to your company, so your customers will never know we are involved.
The United Connect ® Customer Payment Information Manager w/ Customer Web Access (CPIM w/CWA) module provides a way for merchants to not only increase their process efficiency through automation, but do so in a “no effort” end-to-end PCI compliant manner.
The module has two main components :
1. United Connect ® hosted secure database of your customers and one or more of their credit cards. Transactions are conducted using a merchant assigned Customer Number “token”. Customer data is maintained by the merchant via a manual online console, a Secure FTP file transfer, or by a SOAP/XML API. The customers’ payment information is maintained via the second component.
2. A merchant customizable, United Connect® hosted, secure website enabling your customers to self manage their payment data. This website can be skinned to look exactly like your company website and provide functionality for your customers to maintain their own credit card information as well as make payments. Merchants can easily integrate customer payment maintenance as well as payment collection into their own website or include simple links in email messages. The system automatically notifies merchants’ customers when credit cards are due to expire with a “click here” to update my account link in the email.
