FAQ #1126 Published

How do I determine whether my business would be required to conduct an independent assessment or a self-assessment?

Merchants should contact the acquiring financial institutions with whom they have merchant agreements (for example, their merchant bank) to determine whether they must validate compliance and the specific requirements for performing and reporting their compliance validation. Service providers should contact the individual payment brands for further information.
