Celerant is a VISA-PCI Certified Vendor
Celerant Technology received certification by VISA and the PCI Security Standards Council and is included on Visa's list of Validated Payment Applications. This important certification provides clients with the peace of mind that their sensitive card holder information is kept private.
The PCI Security Standards Council has a set of standard regulations that vary, depending on the size of the merchant. Before a merchant or vendor can be Visa certified, the PCI Council verifies that these regulations are met by reviewing the results of independent, third party tests of payment processing applications. After the testing is complete, the vendor or merchant may be qualified for certification.

XBR offers protection against loss, incorporating more than 300 core queries, and sends alerts immediately after a suspected fraudulent transaction has taken place.
