What is PCI?
PCI DSS stands for the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. PCI is a set of standards designed to ensure that ALL companies that accept, process, store or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment. At Swipen we do not charge a non-compliance fee, but you are still responsible for being compliant as a business. Please follow this link for more information.
