In this article, we are going to go over what PCI compliance is and what Peek's role is in all of this. We will go over our process, the payment processor we work with, how this is handled with our card swipers, and how this affects you. We take handling sensitive information seriously and hope this helps shed more light on card security for your customers and you.
What is PCI Compliance?
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is an information security standard for organizations that handle credit cards from major payment networks. PCI was created to increase controls around cardholder data to reduce credit card fraud. Reduced credit card fraud means preventing chargebacks for you!
What does Peek do for a secure checkout with credit card payments?
Peek uses bank-level security, including encryption to ensure credit card payments are collected, stored, and transmitted in adherence with industry security and compliance standards.
What is Peek's Role in This?
Peek has completed and passed the PCI assessments, ensuring we are doing everything we can to help reduce credit card fraud.
