FAQs
What is the Data Security Fee?
All merchants who accept payments by card are required to comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard , or PCI DSS. Barclaycard provide a service called the Data Security Manager which allows merchants to self-assess and attest to compliance with the PCI DSS every 12 months. The fee for using Barclaycard’s Data Security Manager is £4.80 per month. The Data Security Manager is an alternative service to the Proactive Security Service (see below). If a merchant uses the service of another PCI DSS assessor and is able to upload a current certificate of compliance, then the £4.80 Data Security Fee does not apply.

The fee for using Barclaycard’s Proactive Security Service is £15.00 per site (or outlet) per month. The Proactive Security Service is an alternative service to the Data Security Service (see above).
