From April 2008, all businesses that accept payment cards need to comply with the payment card industry data security standard PCI DCSS. Which bascily means (AFAIK) that an independent assessor needs to check your proceedure for taking and storing customers credit card data. (and is going to charge you for this service) this does not only apply to internet transactions. If you accept cards through any system ie portable or fixed card readers or even the old swipe machines then you need to get compliance or they are threatening heavy fines.

of course we are 😳 😳 I will do it right after I pay the vat man this month.
Seriously though I have not had any communication from Streamline regarding this at all so the bank manager will get an earbashing when she comes on Thursday 👿

Re: Payment card industry rules, PCI DSS
Yep we had correspondence about this months back from merchant services, another layer of admin and outside people picking about your business. In my opinion the banks and Card companies create a lot of the problems that we, the general public and themselves have to deal with.
A friend of mine who is very clever designed a security system that was far in excess of anything any of them have at the moment. He approached three of the leading banks and showed them this system.
Guess What, none of them wanted to pay for it or introduce it. Strange but true.
When you hear that skips and rubish bins are found outside such companies with all our personal details for all and sundry to use WHO is checking and regulating these idiots I wonder.
If in doubt, pass the buck !
