HSBC Merchant Services provides Global Fortress

HSBC Merchant Services has launched a new service to help businesses ensure customers’ transactions are secure against fraud. The service, which goes by the name of Global Fortress, has been developed to help merchants achieve PCI DSS compliance.

Chris Davies, MD at HSBC Merchant Services, says: “Although the process to ensure your business is PCI DSS compliant can be an arduous one, it is necessary to protect customers’ card data from fraud and protect the reputation of your business. Not only that, but a merchant may have to pay large fines if they decide to ignore these obligatory requirements.”

“Global Fortress allows our customers to manage both of these potentially substantial issues: a simple way of achieving PCI DSS compliance and a path to possibly avoid receiving industry fines when compliance is maintained,” he adds.
