You know the initials, of course - you see and hear them everywhere. Industry magazines. Workshops. Vendors (oh those sales calls).

You’re sure a deadline is approaching. Or has it already passed? You’re not quite sure. Besides which, even if you knew, you’re still not sure what you need to do (or what happens if you don’t).

PCI Compliance.

Does it apply to you? Here’s a hint if you’re not sure: If you collect, transmit and/or store cardholder information, then it does.

The group that administers the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard — or PCI, for short — this week released a summary of the changes that are being made to the requirements in a revision scheduled to be published in October.

As expected, the modifications that the PCI Security Standards Council is implementing in the upcoming Version 1.2 of the standard are largely incremental in nature and appear unlikely to cause any major new compliance challenges for companies, analysts said. In fact, the update will ease some of the mandates set by the standard, such as how quickly software patches need to be applied to systems.

Interchange fees are the largest increase in cost for petroleum retailers. These increases combined with steady increases in in fuel cost are driving profit out of the industry. In response to the effort of large marketers and NACS, Visa has adjusted their interchange structure to match Master Card. A lot of retailers in the industry do not think this is enough!

Visa had to present at a congressional hearing May 15, 2008, explaining these charges to petroleum retail industry. The presentation documentation below gives you Visa’s perspective on interchange that they presented at this hearing. Give us your comments below on their presented data.

The new PCI UPT (Unattended Payment Terminal) requirement has been approved by PCI Security Council.

The PCI Council has worked on this requirement over the last two years, and expands the PCI requirements on dispensers to include Encrypting PIN Pads, Secure Card Readers (mag stripe), and Secure Screen Prompting.

Unlike the PCI EPP regulation, the PCI UPT only applies to new dispenser deployment and does not affect current dispensers installed in the field. No dates have been set for this requirement to apply in the field, so please stay tuned to our blog site for notification on these new dates.
