Obviously in effort to
improve transaction security, Diamond Bank has been awarded the Payment Card
Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) certification for its debit and
credit cards, reports DigitalSENSE
Business News.
This good news was shared with
DigitalSENSE Business News,
at the weekend by the Head, Corporate Communications at Diamond Bank, Mrs.
Ayona Trimnell, noting that the certification would boost customer experiences.
She explained that PCI DSS
is a global security standard that helps to prevent card and data fraud by
evaluating payment account data security and assessing an organization's
network architecture, software design, security policies, procedures and
protective practices.
Pointing out that Diamond
Bank received the certificate following the successful audit of the Bank by the
PCI Security Standards Council earlier this year.
Delighted Trimnell said the
certification by the PCI Security Standards Council was pleasantly received after
a very rigorous audit exercise.
“The award of the PCI DSS
certificate marks the end of a rigorous audit exercise that saw Control Case
LLC, a United States based Qualified Security Assessor and one of the world's
best Qualified Security Assessors, validate the various frameworks we have put
in place to ensure our customers carry out card-based transactions in a secured
environment. We are pleased to receive this award as it further demonstrates our
unrelenting drive to provide unparallel customer experience,” she said.
DigitalSENSE Business News
recalls that PCI requirements were developed by the PCI Security Standards
Council, which includes the five (5) major payment card issuers, namely the MasterCard,
Visa, American Express, Discover and JCB International; to facilitate broad
adoption of data security best practices worldwide.
“For us at Diamond Bank,
this certificate is not an end in itself as it will propel us to continuously
evolve ways of not only satisfying our customers, but exceeding their expectations.
Now, as always, Diamond Bank customers can enjoy seamless, secured card-based
transactions with our numerous credit and debit cards,” Mrs. Trimnell declared.
DigitalSENSE Business News notes
that Diamond Bank prides itself as a market leader in the deployment of cutting
edge technology in servicing its customers, mostly by acclaimed pioneering role
on online real-time banking in Nigeria, with the Diamond Integrated Banking
