PCI stands for "Payment Card Industry" and PCI Compliance is a set of requirements designed to ensure that all organizations that process, store, or transmit credit card information do so under the tightest controls and security possible in order to reduce the potential for fraud. All organizations with a merchant account are required to be PCI Compliant. When you sign up for eCatholic Payments, you will sign up for a merchant account with CardConnect and you will therefore be required to maintain PCI Compliance.
To become and remain PCI Compliant, you must complete an online PCI Compliance questionnaire once a year stating that you are following all relevant PCI Compliance guidelines. We've created a tutorial to walk you through the survey:
There are also yearly fees (around $100) that must be paid to the company that provides the annual PCI Compliance questionnaire survey (ControlScan). These fees, along with an annual IRS Regulatory Fee (around $60) are covered as part of the $20 Monthly Service Fee that you pay to CardConnect.
You have 90 days from the time that you sign up for Sheenomo Payments to complete your PCI Compliance questionnaire survey as outlined above, and then the survey must be resubmitted annually thereafter. A monthly PCI non-compliance fee of $39.95 is assessed to any organization with a merchant account that is not PCI Compliant until they become PCI Compliant.
