The city recognizes the concerns that the announcement of a payment system breach can cause. As such, the city took swift action to ensure the continued safety of the city’s payment system. This transition is one of them. A new payment system vendor called Paymentus was brought on board and the transition is ongoing.
Paymentus has a Level 1 compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Level 1 is achieved by organizations processing more than 6 million transactions per year and passing PCI DSS requirements that ensure compliance not only for a certain period in time, but continuously as the organization keeps track and monitors critical changes in their process.
