Frequently Asked Questions
Is PCI DSS mandatory for UK businesses post-Brexit?
Yes. PCI DSS compliance obligations are set by payment card schemes and acquiring banks - not UK government legislation. Post-Brexit, UK merchants processing card payments remain fully subject to PCI DSS v4.0. The FCA also expects payment service providers to maintain robust security controls consistent with PCI DSS standards.
How does Open Banking affect PCI DSS scope for UK companies?
UK Open Banking uses PSD2-derived API access for account information and payment initiation. If your Open Banking implementation involves cardholder data or card payment processing, PCI DSS scope applies. Praxis-Q specializes in scoping assessments for UK Open Banking environments.
Do UK fintech companies need PCI DSS compliance?
Yes if they process, store, or transmit cardholder data. UK FCA-regulated payment institutions, electronic money institutions, and BNPL providers handling card data must comply with PCI DSS in addition to FCA operational resilience and PSR requirements.
