How Many Credit Card Processors Have you Gone Thru?

There's something similar cooking for EU, but I dont know the specifics.

What I find amusing are those that arent in compliance and accusing us of having an agenda.

As Jace says... yes there is an agenda. We are trying to do business and make sure we dont get ripped off.

This list is directly off of Visa's website. Nothing any of us have cooked up.

Heres another log for the fire.

If your a doubting Thomas... call Visa yourself and get an idea of whats involed both from a technology standpoint as well as a financial standpoint.

Ask them what are the chances of a processor being compliant starting from scratch now.

Ask them what chances that processor stands if they dont own their own data center.

Get an idea of how much net and physical security is required to be compliant.

Finally ask them on the average ... what this process might cost a processor.

Then ask yourself. Do you REALLY want someone that is not on that list handling your transactions?

Chances are they wont be around come June.
Tick tock...

So in a nutshell Gonzo what are the PCI data security standards?

Anyone who is surprised by all of this is just stupid. We’ve slowly watched this process for years. I agree with Gonzo that anyone starting now probably won’t be around. I tired getting processing for our phone sex lines and some adult products & it was impossible. I’ve been in business many moons, good credit, blah blah and no way…well maybe after jumping through a shit load of hoops.

I’ve been with CCBILL since they started. I’m not going anywhere. I just wish they would bill for other stuff.
