Calpian Commerce Taps Conformance Technologies for PCI Compliance and TIN Matching

Conformance Technologies, a fast-growing provider of operating systems, education systems and expertise used in managing business compliance requirements, today announced that Calpian Commerce, a subsidiary of Calpian, Inc. (OTCQB: CLPI), has selected its PCI ToolKit® and TINMatch ToolKit™ offerings. Subsidiary Calpian Commerce, Inc. will use the patented PCI (News - Alert) ToolKit solution for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) merchant portfolio compliance validation, and the TINMatch ToolKit for merchant business entity name and federal Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) matching with Internal Revenue Service (IRS) records.

"We chose Conformance Technologies for PCI compliance validation and TIN matching because its solutions make the process quick and easy for our merchants and for our business operations," said Chris Anderson, president of Calpian Commerce. "As a leading payments technology provider, our mission is to provide high-quality, cost-competitive electronic payment services. The PCI ToolKit and TINMatch ToolKit solutions align well with our goal to deliver unprecedented value to our merchant customers."

"We welcome Calpian as a business partner and customer," said Darrel Anderson, president of Conformance Technologies. "Best-in-class ToolKit functionality will help Calpian's resources quickly match egal business names and federal taxpayer identification numbers, plus validate and maintain PCI DSS compliance with ease," added Darrel Anderson. "Best-in-class pricing with actionable sales and service data will undoubtedly help Calpian more efficiently and cost effectively manage its merchant portfolio while generating additional revenues," continued Darrel Anderson.

PCI ToolKit fully conforms to PCI DSS 3.0 requirements, tackling the increased complexity head-on for merchant acquirers, Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs) and their merchant customers. Unlike competing offers that simply copy the PCI Security Standards Council Self-Assessment Questionnaires (SAQs) and present them online verbatim, PCI ToolKit translates complicated PCI rules, questions and forms into a merchant security experience that is simple, accurate and comprehensive. Visual wizard technology makes compliance validation fast and easy for small business owners. The number of questions asked during the merchant attestation process is often reduced by 50 percent. Intelligent field population capabilities yield greater merchant response accuracy and higher completion rates. PCI ToolKit is the only compliance validation solution that provides ready-made policies and an education portal for employee training and testing free as part of its core functionality. Interactive multimedia assistance, plus email and client contact center for validation and scanning related support, come standard with PCI ToolKit.

TINMatch ToolKit reduces or eliminates the significant work effort ISOs and merchant acquirers have in matching business entity names and federal taxpayer identification numbers to IRS records for every merchant in their portfolio to properly file IRS 1099-K forms. Matching is required by IRS Section 6050W pertaining to the Housing Assistance Tax Act of 2008. The TINMatch ToolKit solution speeds up matching by automating the validation process, reducing penalties ISOs, merchant acquirers and merchant businesses can face for mismatches. Additionally, mismatches can be imported to billing systems to drive additional non-compliance revenues.
