The ProClassic/Enterprise Retail Banking Solution Suite (PC/E Suite) now complies with the important Payment Card Industry Payment Application - Data Security Standard (PCI PA-DSS).

The PCI DSS, endorsed by American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB International, MasterCard Worldwide and Visa Inc., requires merchants and service providers that store, process or transmit customer payment card data to adhere to information security controls and processes that ensure data integrity. More information on the Council and the standards can be found at pcisecuritystandards.org.

Currently managing some of the world's largest and smallest ATM networks, this open, state-of-the-art software solution acquires and manages payment transactions originating from ATMs and other types of payments terminals.
