PCI Pal is a global secure-payments provider that keeps contact-center and digital payments out of PCI DSS scope. The product set covers Agent-Assisted Payments, Digital Payments (Pay by Link / SMS / web chat / social), IVR Payments and Speech-Recognition Payments — processor-agnostic and integration-friendly with existing premise, hosted and CCaaS platforms. Fibi sources and negotiates PCI Pal on your behalf, at no cost to your business.
Portfolio
DTMF-masked agent-assisted capture, digital payment links across SMS / email / chat / social, IVR self-service, speech-recognition capture, integration across CCaaS / hosted / premise platforms and processor-agnostic acquirer connectivity — keeping the operating model existing payment economics intact while removing card data from PCI scope.
Agent stays on the call while customer enters card data via DTMF — masking the digits from agent screens, recordings and the operating-model network. Fitting operating models whose audit posture cannot tolerate cardholder data flowing through agent endpoints, contact-center recordings or general-purpose corporate networks.
Digital payment links delivered through SMS, email, web chat or social channels — fitting operating models whose customer base prefers self-service payment flows and whose ops leadership wants to deflect routine payment interactions away from agent capacity, with the digital flow staying out of PCI scope.
Self-service IVR payment flow capturing cardholder data through the touch-tone keypad without agent involvement — fitting operating models whose payment volume includes high-frequency repeat transactions where deflecting from agent labor materially affects unit economics, and whose audit posture demands fully out-of-scope capture.
Speech-recognition based card capture for customers who cannot or prefer not to use the keypad — fitting operating models whose accessibility posture requires non-DTMF capture options, and whose contact-center mix includes calls where DTMF tones disrupt the agent-customer conversation flow.
Integration across CCaaS platforms, hosted PBX and on-premise PBX deployments — fitting operating models whose contact-center investment is recent or contractual and whose payments-compliance roadmap cannot wait for a CCaaS migration to complete first, with the same scope-reducing capture working across the platforms in use today.
Processor-agnostic integration to a broad set of acquirers and gateways — fitting operating models whose payment-processing relationships are already in place and whose finance posture cannot accommodate switching processors as a side-effect of compliance tooling, retaining existing acquirer economics while adding scope-reducing capture in front of them.
Ideal For
Operating models accepting cards across voice, IVR, web and digital channels whose compliance program cannot manage scope across multiple disconnected payment paths and whose QSA scoping cost is the dominant compliance line item.
Operating models whose audit, brand or acquirer requirements demand demonstrable PCI scope reduction and whose program needs cardholder data physically removed from agent endpoints, recordings and corporate networks rather than just procedurally controlled.
Operating models whose customer base prefers self-service payment links and IVR / speech flows over agent calls, and whose ops leadership wants to deflect high-frequency routine payments off agent capacity to address unit economics.
Operating models whose contact-center platform investment is recent or contractual and whose compliance roadmap cannot wait for a CCaaS migration first — needing scope-reducing capture that drops in alongside the existing platform.
Why PCI Pal
Structural advantages that justify PCI Pal over generic payment-gateway tooling and CCaaS-native payment add-ons.
PCI Pal sits between customer and agent capturing card data via DTMF, speech or digital flows — so cardholder data never traverses the agent endpoint, recording stack, CRM or operating-model network. Fitting operating models whose QSA scoping work is the dominant cost in the annual compliance cycle.
Voice (agent-assisted, IVR, speech) and digital (SMS, email, web chat, social) payment flows from one provider — fitting operating models whose customer base spans channels and whose program does not want separate compliance vendors per channel, while still allowing the channels themselves to evolve over time.
Built to integrate with existing CCaaS, hosted and on-premise platforms rather than replace them — fitting operating models whose contact-center investment is recent or contractual and whose compliance roadmap cannot be held hostage to a separate CCaaS migration cycle.
Processor-agnostic acquirer integration — fitting operating models whose existing payment-processing relationships and economics cannot be unwound as a side-effect of adopting compliance tooling, allowing the operating model to add scope-reducing capture in front of the existing acquirer rather than switch processors.
