PCI Compliance

Portal version 19.0 and later supports credit card processing functionality based on the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). A requirement for PCI compliance is that credit card information such as card number, expiration date, and CVV (Card Verification Value) is stored securely with a PCI compliant hosting provider and that the user interface of the application (i.e., Portal) does not capture credit card information. Payflow Pro (by PayPal) and ACI are the currently supported payment gateways for credit card payment processing in the Student Portal and Applicant Portal.

Note: Anthology Inc. products support only the “Funding Portal” product from ACI.

To enforce PCI compliant payment processing, the Portal was updated as follows:

  • The 'Add a New Credit Card' option is centralized in Student Portal under My Finances > Payment Information. This option redirects the user to the payment page of the configured payment gateway provider (PayPal or ACI).

  • The 'Add New Payment Method' button is no longer available under Student Portal > My Housing. However, users can make payments with existing credit cards.

  • The Pay Now button in Applicant Portal redirects the user to the payment page of the configured payment gateway provider (PayPal or ACI).

  • Credit card numbers are no longer stored in the Anthology Student database.
