Security & compliance

Built to pass the review a bank actually runs

Payments infrastructure is not bought on features. It is bought once security, compliance, risk and legal have all said yes. This page is written for those four readers.

Card data

Accept² answers a funding question about a card the issuer already owns. It does not issue, provision or store credentials.

  • No credential issuance or provisioning — the issuer's existing card is used
  • PCI DSS aligned architecture and scope minimisation
  • Encryption in transit and at rest; key management separated by environment
  • No PAN in application logs, analytics or support tooling

Data residency & deployment

Where the platform runs is the institution's decision, not the vendor's. It deploys inside your own control boundary.

  • In-region deployment, including private and on-premises models
  • Sub-processor register maintained and disclosed
  • Data minimisation — only what the funding decision requires
  • Documented retention and deletion positions per data class

Scheme rules

Built against current Visa and Mastercard requirements for wallet enablement and service providers.

  • Service-provider registration obligations identified per deployment
  • Funding-decision flows built to scheme authorisation specification
  • Dispute and chargeback data preserved to scheme evidentiary standards
  • Network mark usage reviewed against brand requirements

Regulatory position

A technology provider to regulated institutions. Accept² does not issue credentials, hold customer funds, or provide regulated payment services.

  • Issuer retains the licence, the credential and the customer relationship
  • Outsourcing documentation prepared for supervisory review
  • Liability allocation unchanged from the issuer's existing position
  • Audit and inspection rights available to the institution
Resilience

What happens when something breaks

A component in the authorisation path has to have an answer for its own failure. Accept²'s is to get out of the way.

Fails safe, not open

If a decision cannot be returned in time, the issuer applies its configured default. Nothing is left hanging.

Strict latency budget

The decision call is bounded and measured against the issuer's own host under load during integration — not assumed from a datasheet.

Reconstructable decisions

Every decision records its inputs, the policy version that ran and the outcome, so an auditor, a disputes team or an engineer can rebuild exactly what happened.

Diligence

What we send to your review teams

Architecture and data-flow docs, the sub-processor register, security controls, the scheme-compliance position, and outsourcing documentation. Better before the first workshop than after.

Yes. Institutional customers test against a dedicated environment. For private deployments the environment is yours, so your existing testing regime applies.

Versioned artefacts, not config someone edits in production. Testable against replayed traffic, and every decision records the version that produced it.

We would rather be precise than impressive. The architecture is built to PCI DSS and scheme requirements; certification status per deployment model is stated in writing during diligence.

Send us your diligence questionnaire.

We would rather answer the hard version early than discover it three months into a procurement cycle.
