Buyer's guide

Taking card payments over the phone? What to know before you choose a solution

Why it matters

Why does PCI DSS apply to your contact centre?

PCI DSS is the card industry's security standard for anyone who stores, processes or transmits payment card data. The moment a customer reads a card number to an agent, your phone system, recordings, screens and network can all be in scope.

Non-compliance can bring fines from your bank or card schemes, higher processing fees, forensic audits after a breach and lasting damage to trust.

Where the risk is

Where does card data leak in a contact centre?

  • Call recordings that capture card numbers being read out.
  • Screen recordings that capture card details on the agent's screen.
  • Keypad tones that can be heard and decoded when customers type their card number.
  • Agent desktops that display full card numbers.
  • Networks and integrations that carry card data between systems.

Relying on agents to pause and resume recordings manually is error-prone. Automated controls are far stronger. For recording platforms with payment-safe recording, see recording and compliance.

Solutions

Which payment solution fits how you take payments?

  • Agent-assisted payments with DTMF masking: the customer types their card number on their keypad while the agent stays on the line. Tones are masked, so the agent never hears or sees the number.
  • IVR payments: customers pay through a secure automated menu, with no agent involved.
  • Payment links: a secure link sent by SMS or email during or after the call.
  • Automatic pause and redaction: recordings and screens stop capturing, or remove, card data automatically.
  • Tokenisation: systems store a token instead of the card number.

Descoping solutions keep card data out of your contact centre entirely, which can greatly reduce what your PCI DSS assessment has to cover. Confirm the impact with your assessor.

How to choose

How do you choose a contact centre payment solution?

  1. Map where card data goes today

    Calls, recordings, screens, systems and people.

  2. Check certification

    Ask for the supplier's PCI DSS attestation of compliance and what it covers.

  3. Confirm it works with your set-up

    Your contact centre platform, telephony, payment gateway and CRM.

  4. Test the customer experience

    Payment should be quick and simple for callers, including on mobiles.

  5. Involve your assessor early

    Agree how the solution changes your compliance scope.

FAQs

Contact centre payments and PCI FAQs

Does PCI DSS apply to phone payments?

Yes. If your contact centre takes card details over the phone, the systems and people that handle those details are in scope.

What is DTMF masking?

Technology that hides the tones customers make when typing their card number on a phone keypad, so agents and recordings can't capture the number.

Is pausing call recordings enough for PCI compliance?

Manual pause and resume relies on agents getting it right every time. Automated pausing, redaction or descoping solutions are much more reliable.

What is descoping?

Keeping card data out of your contact centre systems entirely, so far fewer systems and people are covered by your PCI DSS assessment.
