FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions about our credentials, regulatory standing, and how we operate as a Payment Service Provider.

What is a Payment Service Provider (PSP)?

A Payment Service Provider (PSP) is a company that enables businesses to accept and process electronic payments – including credit and debit card transactions, bank transfers, and other digital payment methods. A PSP acts as the technical and operational bridge between a merchant, the card networks (such as Visa and Mastercard), and the acquiring bank, ensuring that payments are authorised, processed, and settled securely and efficiently. By partnering with a PSP, businesses can offer their customers a seamless payment experience without needing to manage the complex infrastructure of payment processing themselves.

Yes. We are a fully accredited Payment Service Provider. Our accreditation confirms that we meet the rigorous technical, operational, and security standards required to process payments on behalf of our clients. This accreditation is independently assessed and maintained, giving our clients confidence that they are working with a trusted and qualified payment partner.

PCI DSS stands for the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. It is a globally recognised set of security standards developed and maintained by the PCI Security Standards Council – an organisation founded by the major card networks including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. PCI DSS sets out the requirements that any organisation involved in storing, processing, or transmitting cardholder data must meet in order to protect that data from fraud and breach.

Compliance with PCI DSS matters because it:

  • Protects sensitive cardholder data from theft and misuse
  • Reduces the risk of costly data breaches and the associated financial and reputational damage
  • Demonstrates a commitment to best-in-class security practices
  • Is a contractual requirement imposed by card networks and acquiring banks
  • Builds trust with clients, partners, and end customers

Any business that processes card payments – whether directly or through a third party – has a responsibility to ensure that their payment chain is PCI DSS compliant.

We are fully PCI DSS accredited, meaning we have undergone a comprehensive assessment against the PCI DSS framework and have been validated as compliant. Our compliance is assessed and certified by a qualified assessor, and we maintain our accreditation on an ongoing basis to ensure our security controls remain current and effective. If you require specific details about our compliance level or certification documentation, please contact us directly and we will be happy to provide further information.

Not in our case. Whether a Payment Service Provider requires authorisation or registration with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) depends on the nature of the services it provides and the legal structure under which it operates. The FCA regulates payment services under the Payment Services Regulations 2017 (PSRs 2017), which implement the EU’s Second Payment Services Directive (PSD2) into UK law. However, certain exemptions exist within those regulations – and we operate under one of those recognised exemptions. This means we are not required to be FCA authorised or registered to carry out our payment-related activities lawfully.

While we do not fall within the scope of FCA regulation by virtue of our status, our operations are governed by a robust framework of legislation and industry standards. We take our legal and regulatory obligations seriously and maintain internal policies and procedures to ensure ongoing compliance across all applicable frameworks.

The security of payment data is our highest priority. As a fully PCI DSS accredited Payment Service Provider, we implement and maintain a comprehensive suite of security controls, including:

  • Encryption of cardholder data in transit and at rest
  • Strict access controls and authentication measures to limit who can access sensitive data
  • Regular vulnerability scanning and penetration testing
  • Continuous monitoring of our systems and networks for suspicious activity
  • Robust incident response procedures in the event of a security event
  • Staff training and awareness programmes to ensure our team understands and upholds security best practices
  • Regular internal and external audits to validate the effectiveness of our controls

Our PCI DSS accreditation is independently assessed and renewed on an ongoing basis, providing our clients with continuous assurance that our security standards remain at the highest level.

We are happy to provide evidence of our PCI DSS accreditation upon request. We welcome requests from clients and prospective partners as part of their due diligence process and support a thorough, responsible approach to assessing suppliers and partners.
