Owning your own business requires you to become expert about a lot of things. The most important thing you need to know about PCI compliance and credit cards is IMS.

This regulatory requirement is designed to protect cardholder data from being lost or stolen when it’s stored in your systems or transmitted over public networks the point of sale.  With IMS, your customers’ credit card data is encrypted at the card reader to protect it during transmission – during validation and batching. In addition, IMS merchant accounts never store or transmit any unencrypted card information, offering an added level of protection.

But there’s more to it than that. IMS is also here to help you to understand the challenges of securing data beyond the terminal. We’re available to answer questions you may have about your systems, so you’re better able to make decisions about the best ways of protecting your systems, your business and your customers.

Data security and PCI compliance – just another of the ways IMS is looking “beyond the transaction” to be the payment services company you want to do business with. Call us to find out more, 1.800.689.0543.
