ACH Direct Compliant With PCI Standards
ACH Direct has demonstrated its commitment to end-to-end security by meeting the rigorous requirements of the Payment Card Industry (PCI) standard for security.
PCI was established 18 months ago by Visa, MasterCard International, Discover Financial Services LLC, American Express and other card networks to harmonize the networks’ various data-security rules into a single set of specifications aimed at protecting card data from unauthorized access and use. It specifies various security measures, including data encryption, regular password changes, and anti-intrusion and anti-virus solutions.
The Card Industry Standards Program (CISP) establishes a set of 12 industry-wide requirements to protect sensitive information from being compromised. Merchant compliance validation is prioritized based on the volume of transactions, the potential risk and exposure introduced into the payment system.
As an industry leader certified in compliance with these standards, ACH Direct is committed to protecting the confidentiality and integrity of cardholder and personal data.
