Members Only adds xCharge Vault for enhanced credit card security
Monday, August 10, 2009
(Members Only Software, Inc.)
As part of our efforts to help
our clients achieve compliance with PCI
standards and lower the risk of identity theft
for their constituents, Members Only is now
offering secure cloud-based offsite storage of
credit card numbers for repeat
billing. This service is offered
through integration with the xCharge Vault
product provided by our credit card processing
partner, CAM Commerce Solutions, Inc. xCharge
is certified by the PCI as compliant with its
PA-DSS security standards for payment
applications.
Many of our
customers need to charge constituents' credit
cards on a monthly basis for dues, program
fees, or a sponsorship. But storing these
account numbers exposes
an organization to
liability. And PCI security standards make it
costly to do so in a compliant fashion.
The
xCharge Vault allows an organization to keep
account numbers available for repeat charging
of dues or donations, without the exposure of
directly storing sensitive
data. With Vault
Integration, when you tell Members Only
to store a constituent's credit card number for
future use, Members Only sends it off to the
Vault. The Vault in turn sends back an "key"
for this account number. Members Only records
only the key. Any time you need to charge this
customer's stored card for a purchase made
through Members Only, the Members Only software
asks xCharge to bill it against the alias.
xCharge finds the proper account to charge, and
does so without ever transferring the card
number back to you.
Members Only
Software President Michael Stein says "We're
excited to be taking our partnership with CAM
Commerce a step further. We've had only good
reports from our users who have switched to
xCharge in the last year. Their free, easy to
install software integrates transparanrly into
our applications. We have significantly fewer
setup and maintenance issues than we had with
older payment apps. And low transaction fees
have made them a winner for our clients. With
PCI
compliance becoming an increasing concern
for all organizations accepting credit cards,
its a great solution for the non-profit and
association community."
