Notes to Editors:

PCI-PAL is a supplier of contact centre payment solutions which provides products and services enabling organisations to take customer payments securely; to store customer data safely, in particular credit card data; and to de-risk their business from the threat of data loss and cybercrime.

PCI-PAL solutions are currently used in more than 60 organisations, many of which are global businesses in the retail, services, and utilities sectors. Utilising PCI-PAL technology ensures our customers meet the stringent PCI-DSS Level 1 industry rules, as laid down by the global Payment Card Issuers such as Visa and Mastercard and the regulations governing customer data protection.

PCI-PAL floated on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange in September 2000.  In September 2016, the Board decided to solely focus on its PCI-PAL solutions with the sale of its contact centre operations for £6.7m.   The Board believes that the Company now has the cash resources to fully implement its UK and International growth plans.
