Skipjack Achieves PCI Compliance for Fifth Consecutive Year
Cincinnati, Ohio – January 31, 2007: Skipjack Financial Services, Inc. today announced that it has achieved PCI (Payment Card Industry security standard) compliance for the fifth consecutive year.
Skipjack was among the first service providers to attain PCI compliance, ensuring that our merchants are protected by the most rigorous security methods available. “We are very proud to have achieved our fifth year of PCI certification. Skipjack is committed to providing industry leading payment solutions and services; our compliance with the PCI standards is a vital part of that effort.” said Brad Hoeweler, president.
The PCI Data Security Standard is designed to protect cardholder data by applying stringent security standards on members, merchants and service providers.
