Jenkon Partners with ProPay for PCI Compliance
Jenkon (JIA Inc.), the industry leading developer of web-based sales and enterprise management software for the direct selling industry, has partnered with ProPay, the most comprehensive provider of simple, safe and affordable merchant payment solutions to the direct selling industry.
In partnering with ProPay, Jenkon’s comprehensive product offering is expanded to include clients’ PCI compliance requirements such as adherence to security standards and avoiding compromising payment transactions. “Some people involved in direct sales don’t realize that they are under the same obligation to adhere to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI/DSS) as any other business.” Sherri Mead, VP at Jenkon said. “Our partnership with ProPay allows us to offer services that help our clients significantly reduce or eliminate the scope of PCI DSS for their business.”
ProPay’s ProtectPay can remove the need for customers to handle credit card data by creating a unique identifier for each credit card, which is used by the Jenkon system for processing and recurring payments. By using the unique identifier, rather than the actual credit card data, merchants eliminate exposing the data unnecessarily. Therefore sensitive data is not compromised since the identifying number does not hold any significance to a specific account. Data in ProPay’s system is protected using industry best practices for security and encryption.
“The financial obligation for businesses, let alone individual sellers, to maintain security compliance can be astronomical. ProPay continues to invest a significant amount of money, time, and resources to provide a secure and redundant production environment where data, including sensitive consumer data, can reside,” said Greg Pesci, ProPay Executive Vice President of Business Strategy. “ProPay has a proven track record of keeping payment services simple, safe and affordable. The services we provide the direct selling industry allows our clients to focus on their core competencies while we manage their compliance.”
