U.S.A. - PCI Certification: How do I become PCI Compliant?

VISA, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express require that all merchants (business owners) who accept credit cards participate in a mandatory compliance program called PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards) to help prevent cardholder fraud and identity theft. 

We have partnered with WorkWell / Aperia (a Qualified Security Assessor) to make this as easy as possible for you and your office. You are automatically enrolled with Aperia as soon as your merchant accounts are approved. We have included helpful guides below that will walk you through the registration and certification process through Aperia's web portal.

Aperia's website is:  https://www.pciapply.com/workwelltechnologies

Choose the appropriate PCI guide:

• If you are brand new to Cash Practice or have never completed PCI, click HERE
• 1st time renewing through Aperia / WorkWell (previously used TrustWave) OR it's been more than 90 days since your PCI Certification expired, click HERE
• Renew your existing Aperia account (quick renewal - must be within 90 days of PCI Certification expiration date), click HERE

If you are not sure if you have already registered with Aperia or not, we can confirm that for you - either email us at MerchantAccounts@CashPractice.com or give us a call (877) 343-8950 x 105.

Please keep in mind that it is your responsibility to keep your PCI compliance status up to date. The PCI Questionnaire is an annual requirement and the PCI vulnerability scan is a quarterly requirement. Aperia will email you reminders (as well as any action that is required) to the email you entered during registration.

The annual fees for PCI through Aperia can be found HERE.

 Failure to complete or renew PCI Certification will result in an additional $15 penalty fee each month.
