PCI DSS Compliance

Why do I need PCI DSS compliance?

           Hippo Charging is committed  to inform our clients of changes that may affect your merchant account, including the requirement of all merchants to maintain Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards (DSS) compliance.  Please take a moment to read this as your action is required to take advantage of this opportunity and avoid potential fees and association penalties.

Stay Informed—Mandatory Data Security Requirements

           The MasterCard and Visa card associations require all merchants to maintain compliance with the PCI DSS. By meeting these standards, you help protect the security of your customers’ data, a priority that the card associations take very seriously. Merchants can be fined upwards of $1 million if their customers’ credit card information is lost or stolen.

            An Approval security assessor or scan vendor can help you identify potential risks and validate whether your business is PCI DSS compliant. For a list of approved vendors and other helpful information, please refer to the following Web Sites.
