Bank of Africa, a leading financial institution in Ghana and a member of the BMCE group has successfully achieved Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI – DSS) certification. This significant feat emphasizes the Bank’s unwavering dedication to protecting sensitive customer payment card data and maintaining the highest standards of security.

PCI DSS is a global security standard designed to ensure that all companies that process, store or transmit payment card information maintain a secure environment. Achieving this certification demonstrates Bank of Africa’s robust security infrastructure, policies, procedures and technologies that safeguard cardholder data against potential threats.

The thorough certification process involved a comprehensive audit of Bank of Africa’s systems, networks, and processes by a qualified security assessor. This assessment verified that the Bank meets all requirements of the PCI DSS, covering areas such as network security, data encryption, access control, vulnerability management and regular security testing.

This certification reinforces the Bank’s position as a trusted financial partner, dedicated to safeguarding the interest of customers, protecting their data in the best possible manner and building strong partnerships in our chosen market.
