FBNBank Ghana has received PCI DSS certification version 3.2.1. from the Payment Card Industry Standards Security Council (“PCI SSC”) affirming the high level of security around its cards.

The PCI Standard is mandated by the card brands but administered by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council. In order to receive the PCI DSS certification, FBNBank complied with the required technical and operational standards needed to secure and protect card data it keeps of its customers or transmits in transactions and protect card data provided by cardholders and transmitted through card processing transactions.
