Stay PCI Compliant: Take the Self-Assessment Questionnaire Now
To: Our Valued AMI Merchants
Subject: Act Now to Make PCI Compliance Easier
For businesses accepting credit cards, Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance is no different than having a business license or tax ID. PCI compliance is required. Our PCI compliance programs are being managed by Approved Scanning Vendors (ASV) by the PCI Council. Their easy to use tools and detailed, personal level of support make achieving compliance less complicated.
All merchants are required to provide an annual attestation of compliance.
This means you must complete a Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) once a year. Here is what you need to do now to become or remain PCI compliant.

About PCI Compliance
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of guidelines put in place to ensure that merchants are following best practices in order to reduce credit card fraud and security breaches. The PCI DSS was formed by the five major card brands (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and Japan Card) in 2004 and compliance with this standard is required of all merchants.
Merchants who process credit cards through an Internet connection may also need a quarterly vulnerability scan, but we can help you determine exactly what is required for your business. Once you achieve compliance your attestation will automatically be submitted to AMI on your behalf.
