Are there any fees associated with PCI Compliance?
Copied to clipboard
To ensure compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), we charge the following fees:
- PCI Compliance fee: also known as PCI program fee, this charge covers all the services, tools and support we provide to help you meet the requirements set by the PCI DSS and thus protect customer and cardholder data.
- PCI Non-Validation/Non-Compliance Fee: you’ll be charged this fee if you don’t complete the required steps to confirm compliance with PCI DSS on time, e.g., complete a Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ), pass a network vulnerability scan (if applicable), or submit proof of compliance.
How can I avoid these fees?
The PCI program offers important benefits, such as data breach protection, and the fees therein cannot be waived. However, such charges can be reduced if you downgrade to the Basic tier.
If you become compliant before the 24th of the month, you won’t be charged the monthly PCI Non-Action fee.
