ClearTran Validates Compliance with Payment Card Industry Security Standards

As a demonstration of its commitment to protecting confidential cardholder and personal data, ClearTran has validated its compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS). The PCI DSS is an international set of security requirements for any entity responsible for storing, processing or transmitting cardholder data, and applies to all payment channels, including retail, mail/telephone order and e-commerce.

Compliance with the standards, which are set by the international Payment Card Industry Security Standard Council, verifies that ClearTran's processes meet the industry's highest standard for protecting the confidential data of individuals who make purchases using ClearTran's Payment Processing Technology.

Achieving PCI DSS validation further distinguishes ClearTran as one of the industry's premier electronic and online bill payment solution providers.

A division of The Bank of New York Mellon Treasury Services Group, ClearTran helps organizations (such as utility, telecommunications, financial services, healthcare and insurance companies) quickly and efficiently accept and process payments that are received over the telephone, through automated voice systems (IVR / VRU) or over the Internet.
