Payment card industry

The payment card industry (PCI) denotes the debit, credit, pre-paid, e-purse, ATM, and POS cards and associated businesses.

The term is sometimes more specifically used to refer to the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council, an independent council originally formed by American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB, MasterCard Worldwide and Visa International on Sept. 7, 2006, with the goal of managing the ongoing evolution of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard.
