EFT Canada Inc. ("EFT") (TSX VENTURE:EFT), today announced that it has achieved
the status as a PCI Level 1 secure service. Companies can now use EFT to store,
process and transmit credit card information in the cloud, without having to
invest heavily in their own infrastructure to provide their customers the
highest standard for payment data security. 


PCI-DSS is a comprehensive payment card security standard that evaluates payment
account data security by assessing a firm's network architecture, software
design, security policies, procedures and protective practices. The PCI
requirements were developed by the PCI Security Standards Council--which
includes American Express, Discover, JCB International, MasterCard and Visa--to
help facilitate adoption of data security best practices worldwide.


Data security and compliance are key business drivers for online retailers and
other organisations that process credit card transactions. Companies are
required to meet the PCI DSS certification and failure to do so can prove
costly, resulting in large fines if a data breach takes place as a result of not
being compliant. To achieve a Validated Level 1 Service Provider Status, EFT
commissioned a third party examination by a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) to
validate compliance with PCI DSS. The Level 1 requirement applies to any
provider who stores, processes or transmits more than 300,000 transactions
annually to Visa or MasterCard.


"Security has always been and will continue to be a high priority," said James
Watt, Vice President Card Services, EFT Canada. "By pursuing certifications and
third party attestations like the PCI DSS Report On Compliance audit, we're able
to give customers continued assurance that the EFT card service cloud is a
trustworthy, reliable, and secure platform."
