We Solve Compliance for You
BlueSnap checks all the boxes when it comes to complying with requirements like PCI-DSS Compliance, GDPR, PSD2 and tax regulations, helping you meet the highest industry standards. Failure to comply can result in fines, business disruptions and damage to your reputation.
We stay up-to-date on everything that is evolving in the payments industry to make sure your payments can continue to support your business without incident. Here are just some of the details we stay ahead of and optimize our technology for to keep your business running smoothly:
- Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard or PCI DSS is a set of requirements designed to ensure that all companies that process, store and/or transmit credit and debit card information maintain a secure environment. BlueSnap complies with Level 1 PCI-DSS, the highest in the industry.
- General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regulation that increases the level of control EU and UK citizens and residents have over their personal data in the new digital age and presents a more unified environment for international business across Europe.
- PSD2 is a mandate that governs regulated payment service providers within the European Union, UK and the European Economic Area. It is designed to increase competition and participation in the European payments system for merchants and other stakeholders by making payments more secure and reducing fraud. PSD2 also clarifies the liability issues between the acquiring and issuing banks, with the issuing banks taking on the liability.
- Wayfair Ruling allows US states to tax remote sales even if the business has no in-state presence. Prior to this ruling, states could only tax sales by businesses that had a physically presence within the state.
