Cooperatively Speaking
PCI Compliance, Credit Card Processing, and Preventing Data Breaches at Your Institution
Show Notes

E&I Host: Joe Castelluccio, Director, Business Development
Guests: Deborah Jackson,  Founder and CEO of Arrow Payments

Colleges and universities are like little cities where each department operates with their own business processes and software. Managing the payment systems for each of these locations is extremely complex when you consider all the different ways schools receive payments for things like tuition, dining, libraries, athletics, parking, and donations. It's even harder to ensure all of these locations are following the credit card processing and PCI compliance security requirements. As a result, most higher education leaders are frustrated with the time, experience, and resources necessary to address all of these situations.

In this episode, Joe and our guest Deborah discuss the best ways for schools to reduce costs and streamline payment processing, merchant support, and security to prevent credit card data breaches.
