If Carpay provided you with a merchant account, you’ll have ninety (90) days to complete your PCI Compliance questionnaire in order to remain PCI Compliant with the card networks (VISA, MasterCard, etc.), or you will be billed $29.95/mo for each month thereafter that the questionnaire remains outstanding. If you remain non-compliant for longer than that, the fee may incrementally increase over time.

Managing PCI Compliance

When merchants first sign up they have a 90 day (3 month) grace period before they will begin to get charged the non-compliance fee. Once they are out of this grace period they have until the 15th of the month to avoid getting charged the fee that month.

CardPointe users can access the Trustwave CardConnect PCI Program from within the CardPointe application, without the need to enter separate Trustwave login credentials.
