Why Acquirers Require PCI DSS Services

As well as having the need to ensure their own organisation meets PCI DSS requirements, Acquirers have the added responsibility of ensuring that their Merchants are working towards compliance with the PCI DSS, as mandated by the Payment Card schemes.

As part of the compliance process, Acquirers are expected to report on the PCI DSS status of their merchants in line with specific payment scheme report templates.

With so many Merchants, many Acquirers are finding it difficult to manage a program that ensures their Merchants are making real progress with the PCI DSS requirements.
