What is a credit card processor?
A credit card processor is an electronic device or software program that enables businesses to accept credit cards as a payment method. In Montana, a credit card processor must comply with the state’s laws and regulations. The processor must abide by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) which protects customer data from fraudulent transactions. Moreover, the processor must have a valid merchant agreement with the credit card issuer that outlines the terms and conditions of the transaction. Additionally, the processor must have a secure encrypted connection for submitting sensitive customer data, such as credit card numbers, to the credit card company. Finally, the processor must be registered with the Montana Department of Revenue as a sales and use tax collector. Credit card processors are essential for businesses to offer customers an efficient and secure payment service.
