To All Units Accepting Credit Cards as a Form
of Payment:
MSU was recently informed by our bank, Bank of
America
Merchant Services (BAMS) that we are required to validate MSU’s
compliance with
the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) early
next
year. We have not been asked to provide this information to the
bank for
a long time, so it is important that we have every unit on campus
review their
payment card processing methods and security, and submit written
documentation
to the Cashier’s Office by March 31, 2014. MSU cannot be
considered compliant unless every merchant is compliant.
We are preparing instructions and procedures for collecting
this information
which will be sent to all units in the
next few weeks.
According to the bank’s policy, we must report
on all
credit card business being done by every department and unit on
campus.
We are aware that there are several MSU units accepting credit
card payments
using methods that are not allowed under the guidelines in the MSU
Manual of
Business Procedures (http://ctlr.msu.edu/COMBP/mbp17EBS.aspx).
We
are declaring an official “amnesty” period for those units to
report to the
Cashier’s Office. This will be the time for those units operating
outside
of the guidelines to come forward and discuss their payment card
business with
us.
Please wait for the instructions on how to
report, which
will be available soon. If you have related questions in the
meantime,
please e-mail them to [log in to unmask]
and we will respond accordingly.
Thank you for your continuing efforts to be
compliant,
Mary Nelson, Manager
Cashier Services and Merchant Support
