PCI Compliance Levels (with Paytia) | Paytia

Card brands classify merchants into four PCI levels based on transaction volume. Higher levels require annual on-site assessments by a Qualified Security Assessor. By removing phone payments from your environment, Paytia helps you satisfy those assessors with less internal effort.

Why levels matter

Level 1 merchants undergo the most scrutiny. Even Level 4 merchants must complete Self-Assessment Questionnaires (SAQs). If phone payments expose card data to agents, you face longer questionnaires and larger control sets.

How Paytia reduces scope

When card data never reaches your systems, many SAQ sections become “not applicable”. Paytia provides the evidence your assessor or acquiring bank needs to confirm the reduced scope.

Support that scales

Whether you process thousands or millions of transactions, Paytia’s PCI Level 1 certification covers the heavy control areas, freeing your team to focus on customer service.
