EIPS follows the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard, a set of tough security rules developed by the credit card industry to protect cardholders against credit card fraud and identity theft. This means other than online ACORN payments, EIPS does not accept payment by credit card unless the person and card are present in the school or department. We can no longer accept credit card payments over the phone.
