Without question, merchants are worried about the security of their customer data and complying with Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express and the Payment Card Industry’s Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). POS/technology providers also take this initiative very seriously. If customers fail to comply they can incur substantial fines, or worse, be prevented from accepting credit cards. Merchant Link understands these challenges and offers solutions that reduce the frustration of trying to manage compliance.

One of the highest priority elements of the 12-point PCI security program is to ensure that full credit card swipe and CVV data is not stored in any form after an authorization is completed.
