With credit card processing, you may not understand the complexities of all the line items you see on your monthly statement. But every now and then you find yourself wondering about all those line items. You’ll notice all the fees with initials next to them, none of which you have a clue what they mean. You might call the customer service number on the statement only to be passed around from one department to another. Finally, you get a human on the phone who starts talking gibberish.

For you to get PCI complaint is when all the stars and planets align perfectly with everything else in the universe. Then, and only then you’re told, is when you do NOT pay tall those unidentifiable fees!

Now, you’re more confused than ever. Then they ask if you are PCI compliant which you also don’t know the answer to. To sound as if they are being helpful, they send you a link to forms you have to fill out that will get you PCI compliant which are also confusing.

We know you’re just trying to run your business.

We’re Going To Help You Understand The Complexities

Here’s something you can do. If you’re using Square, PayPal, QuickBooks, or any of the organizations that use integrated processing, look them up, google if you need to be PCI compliant. Any company you use to process credit cards are required by the card brands to be PCI compliant and so are you.  You are also paying for the service to get complaint. Yes, its somewhere buried in your statement.  If you’re not PCI compliant, there will a line item that shows a non-PCI compliant fee which can be $29, $39, $49 or as high as $195 per month. Yes, per month! If you see that line item, you really should be concerned.
