	Below are just 3 examples of seals you may find on our site very soon. Look for these when you are shopping other sites on the web to verify that your security and private information is protected. If you see these or any security logo in place on this or any site click on it and it should verify the site information for you. We have noticed sites that show security IMAGES similar to the ones below but they are just images not the real thing! Click on either of the 2 Black Seals for examples of what you should find on other sites when verifying those sites!

PCI Compliance FAQs

Q: What is PCI?
A: 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.
A copy of the PCI DSS is available here.

Q: To whom does PCI apply?
A: PCI applies to ALL organizations or merchants, regardless of size or number of transactions, that accepts, transmits or stores any cardholder data. Said another way, if any customer of that organization ever pays the merchant directly using a credit card or debit card, then the PCI DSS requirements apply.

Q: Where can I find the PCI Data Security Standards (PCI DSS)?
A: The Standard can be found on the PCI SSC's Website:
