PCI Compliant

ustomiser’s screens record customer demographics and subscription details including source and campaign type, location, currency, VAT and product type. This allows accurate service delivery and payment collections.

Credit card payments are handled inside the system with authorisations recorded and payments received in batches. Comprehensive transaction history is maintained and a document management system assists with retrieval of customer correspondence.

When a payment is authorised, Customiser sends a signal to authenticate the decoder card which is assigned to the set-top box.

If the contract is terminated or payments cease Customiser can issue the signal to deactivate the decoder card so that decryption ceases.

Customiser supports multiple CAs – Conditional Access systems – to cover for future technology changes, migrations between suppliers and multiple routes to market.
