ABOUT VISA SECURITY MANDATES
Visa developed the Payment Application Best Practices (PABP) specifications as part of the CISP/PCI compliance program. The program:
• Assists software vendors in creating secure payment applications that help merchants and agents mitigate security compromises.
• Prevents storage of sensitive cardholder data that otherwise might suffer unauthorized access from hackers.
• Supports compliance with the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS).
Starting October 1, 2008, Visa began requiring their merchants who use payment application software to adhere to Visa's Payment Application Best Practices (PABP). http://usa.visa.com/download/merchants/payment_application_security_mandates.pdf
PABP REQUIRED FOR MERCHANT ACCOUNTS
Merchant account providers will NOT ISSUE MERCHANT ACCOUNTS to any company using application software that is not PABP certified. Companies that use an uncertified credit card payment solution may be unable to get a merchant account or may be forced to pay higher rates.
MERCHANT PCI REQUIREMENTS
PCI Compliance is no longer optional, or "nice to have" feature for businesses accepting credit card payments. All merchants must be in compliance with PCI or risk being subject to hefty fines. For more information regarding PCI compliance, please visit the Nodus website at http://www.nodus.com/pci_compliance.html or visit the Visa website at http://usa.visa.com/merchants/risk_management/cisp_merchants.html
