Updated PCI Compliance Requirements

Feb 22

Posted by DeAnna Masterson in General | No Comments

As you know, one of the reasons ProPay was a great option for our clients and for you was because instead of being required to fill out a 200+ questionnaire every year in order to remain compliant and accept credits, there was either going to be no PCI compliance required or a simpler questionnaire.

Up until recently, there was no requirement to fill out any questionnaire, however, we were just informed that as of January 1, 2017, there will now be a simpler questionnaire to confirm compliance. You and your clients will be contacted over the next few months by ControlScan requiring completion of an SAQ-D compliance questionnaire, in addition to paying a $75 fee, to remain compliant and to continue accepting credit cards.

If you have any questions regarding the PCI compliance requirement, please contact your assigned TSYS merchant advocate or contact ProPay at [email protected].

New Reseller Locator Available

Feb 6

We debuted a new way the reseller listings are displayed on our website. I am confident that this change will look more modern and help prospects more easily find your listing.

Previously, if a prospect wanted to view resellers in their area, they either had to click on the reseller map or know which region they’re in and click on the appropriate link on the left side bar.

This format created problems for prospects who live near the borders of those regions. For example, what if they’re in Colorado? They have three regions they could search for the nearest reseller. Even worse, if they were in Kentucky, they would have five regions they could search for the nearest reseller.

Then, when they went to their region, resellers were organized 1st by President’s Circle members and 2nd by Last Name. This could cause issues, because unless they know Florida’s geography well, it’d be hard to find a reseller that was near them in Orlando.

I am excited to debut a more modern and user friendly way to display our resellers – searching for resellers based on zip code.
