Mercury Payment Systems Launches Reseller-Focused PCI Education Campaign
Toolkit Offers Resellers Card Data Security Support
Durango, CO—April 17, 2008—Mercury Payment Systems today announced the release of a proactive, reseller-focused Payment Card Industry (PCI) education campaign. The campaign components include free toolkits and a new webinar that inform resellers how to keep merchants safe from data security breaches and protect their own business.
Mercury partners with point-of-sale (POS) resellers to deliver integrated payment processing solutions to restaurant and retail merchants. Since merchants rely on their POS resellers as their information technology experts, resellers play a key role in helping merchants achieve and maintain PCI compliance.
"An important component of PCI compliance is educating people about how the rules have changed," says Shelley Plomske, Vice President of Technical Services. "The card associations focus on educating merchants. In our experience, the POS reseller is in the best position to help merchants understand and achieve compliance. That's where Mercury steps in and provides resources to help resellers support their merchants. Mercury's unique approach to PCI compliance awareness is what makes this program like no other."
Mercury's POS reseller partners automatically receive a PCI toolkit packed with helpful resources including quick reference guides, an invitation to a new webinar, a DVD produced by Retail Solutions Providers Association (RSPA), and a free merchant offer from certified PCI auditor, Coalfire Systems, Inc.
This month's PCI education program launch is the latest step in Mercury's ongoing compliance awareness campaign.
