What is the difference between funding summary and a batch report?

 

A batch report shows each transaction done in a particular time frame. A merchant can either batch automatically each day at a certain time, or batch manually at their terminal. A funding summary is what actually goes into the merchant’s bank account. This can be comprised of multiple batches, like after a weekend, and can also include debits from the account, like fees or charges taken out.

Where can I see my statements?

 

Your statements are accessible under the Reporting > Statements tab. From there, you will be able to see all of your statements from any linked Merchant Identification numbers.

What is PCI compliance and how do I become PCI compliant?

 

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of industry rules passed down by the major card brands to protect merchants and customers from data breaches and identity theft. All merchants must be compliant, or risk facing a fine from the card brands. As a CardPointe merchant, your PCI compliance status is determined by your standing in Trustwave’s Trustkeeper portal. You can access this portal under the My Account tab on your CardPointe account.
