SOFTWARE CONSULTANTS VS CREDIT CARD PROCESSING & PAYMENT CONSULTANTS

PCI QIR Certified

Level 4 merchants, defined as less than 20,000 Visa or MasterCard e-commerce transactions annually, and all other merchants processing up to 1 million Visa or MasterCard transactions annually, are mandated to use PCI QIR certified individuals, if using outside resources for implementation. Companies are not certified, only individuals. Christine Speedy is QIR certified by the PCI council. All merchants can benefit from PCI QIR expertise for both integrated and non-integrated payment technology. Software upgrading and ERP implementations often utilize temporary technical help that repeatedly uses 'old code', because they are not familiar with credit card processing rules. This has contributed to a record number of data breaches in recent years.

Credit Card Processing Rules Expert

Most technology consultants and integrators have never read the Visa rules, arguably the toughest of the card brands, which directly impacts merchant risk and fees. The rules are complex and lack of knowledge to maximize profits is the norm, and even most credit card processing consultants.

Christine Speedy is a leading expert in understanding card acceptance rules complexities and various technologies that can influence compliance. She is a sought after B2B contributing writer, consultant, and speaker on the subject matter.

While my career has been largely with companies that have a B2B component, including automotive dealers, manufacturers, distributors and building supply, the restaurant and hotel industries have been devastated by the Coronavirus pandemic.
