Over The Phone Payment Regulations

If you take card payments, you must comply with industry regulations!

PCI DSS

Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard is mandatory if you fail to comply and suffer a breach, liabilities include:

Lost confidence from your customers
Cost of reissuing new payment cards
Fraud losses and Audit fees
Higher subsequent costs of compliance
Legal costs, settlements, and judgments
Fines and penalties
Termination of the ability to accept card payments
Going out of business

The last one is very real. In fact, audit fees and fines lead to over 55% of SME’s to close doors after suffering a breach.

GDPR

Then there is the Data Protection Act, brought in to replace the Data Protection Directive. GDPR was created to give greater control to individuals’ personal information. Protecting them from security breaches or misuse of their details.

It applies to all organisations and failure to adhere to its legislation can lead to huge consequences for any size business.

Company Directors are personally liable under the Data Protection Act for neglecting to comply with the GDPR and safeguard their sensitive customer information.

”PayGuard has been instrumental in allowing our business to take telephone payments in a compliant & efficient manner.

Every business is a target for card fraudsters; with PayGuard we’ve been able to reduce risk to the business without impacting the customer journey as we can keep the agent and customer communicating through the whole process.

Our customers can also feel secure, never needing to read out their card details to our agent, which promotes our reputation as a security conscious business. I would strongly recommend our over the phone payment systems to any business looking for peace of mind within the world of phone payment processing. Agents have fed back that it is a fast and easy process, which is a pleasant departure from the gripes of having to learn a complicated new process.
