PCI Tutorial

You, as the merchant account owner, must complete a PCI compliance Self Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) once a year in order to be PCI compliant and avoid paying a monthly non-compliance fee. Even if you are not actively using eCatholic Payments at the moment, your CardConnect account is still subject to compliance. To get started with the SAQ, follow the instructions below.

After you click on "Not Compliant", you will be redirected to the SecureTrust website to start the PCI Compliance process:
