Quaife Achieves PCI DSS Level 1 Certification on Version 4 — Setting a New Standard in Payment Security

We’re proud to share a major milestone in Quaife’s journey:

We are now one of the first PCI Level 1 gateways certified on the latest Version 4 of the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

This achievement reflects our unwavering commitment to security, reliability, and innovation in the world of online payments — and places Quaife at the forefront of global payment security standards.

Since its introduction in 2004, the PCI DSS has set the benchmark for safeguarding cardholder data. Over the years, as digital commerce has grown and cyber threats have evolved, so too have the standards that protect sensitive information.

Version 4 marks the most significant update since 2018, introducing modernised security measures designed to meet today’s complex threat landscape. While most organisations will transition over the next two years, Quaife is proud to be leading the charge — among the first to achieve Level 1 certification on this new standard.

PCI DSS compliance is essential for any business handling card payments. It ensures the secure handling of payment card data, helping prevent data breaches, fraud, and reputational damage. For merchants and customers alike, it’s a seal of trust that their sensitive data is protected.

Achieving PCI DSS Level 1 certification on Version 4 means merchants and customers using Quaife can count on:

• Enhanced Security Measures

• Greater Flexibility and Scalability

• Reinforced Trust and Confidence
