Ensuring security and trust: How Exness prioritizes PCI DSS compliance for its traders

One question all traders ask when registering with a broker is how secure their personal details are. There are several safeguards that protect traders' information, and one is The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, or PCI DSS. So what is PCI DSS and why should you care?

What is the PCI DSS?

PCI DSS is a standard for all businesses that store, process, and transmit cardholder data, specifically covering technical and operational practices. PCI DSS was developed to encourage and enhance cardholder data security, and to facilitate the broad adoption of consistent data security measures globally.

Every organization that handles online card payments must comply with the high standards of PCI DSS, or risk penalties such as fines and the restricting of card transactions. The PCI DSS was launched in 2004 and is the result of collaboration between major credit card brands: American Express, Discover, JCB, Mastercard, and Visa.

Whenever a trader deposits or withdrawals through Exness, you can be sure that the process is secure and within the PCI DSS guidelines. Such knowledge gives our traders the confidence to park their financial wealth in an Exness trading account, ready to be accessed when market conditions are attractive.
