Data Security

PayNearMe Inc. takes our partners’ information very seriously, and has comprehensive privacy and security assessments and certifications performed by multiple third parties.

PayNearMe Inc. (“PayNearMe”) completes an annual PCI DSS assessment using an approved Qualified Security Assessor (QSA). The auditor reviews the PayNearMe environment, which includes validating the infrastructure, development, operations, management, support, and in-scope services. The PCI DSS designates four levels of compliance based on transaction volume. PayNearMe is certified as compliant under PCI DSS version 4.0 at Service Provider Level 1.

The assessment results in an Attestation of Compliance (AoC) issued by the QSA. The effective period for compliance begins upon passing the audit and receiving the AoC from the assessor, and ends one year from the date the AoC is signed. The AoC is available to customers to show the QSA has determined that PayNearMe Inc. is in compliance with PCI DSS v4.0.

Compliance with this internationally recognized standard confirms that PayNearMe’s security management program is comprehensive and follows leading practices.
