Jaris completes PCI DSS validation: Enabling faster, compliant merchant onboarding
At Jaris, our mission is to simplify the complex world of embedded finance so our ISO and ISV partners can launch world-class financial products in weeks, not months. To deliver on that speed, we have to solve the "heavy lifting" behind the scenes—specifically the security and compliance hurdles that can stall merchant onboarding.
Today, we’re excited to share that Jaris has completed its annual PCI DSS and validation as a certified service provider—reinforcing our commitment to institutional-grade security while unlocking faster, smoother merchant onboarding for our partners.
Solving the onboarding compliance bottleneck
For partners who operate as risk-bearing acquiring platforms, onboarding a new merchant is a high-stakes process that requires rigorous oversight to meet strict Card Network mandates.
Our validated PCI environment allows Jaris to securely integrate critical industry risk-management tools, such as Mastercard MATCH, directly into our Onboarding product—without expanding your compliance scope.
"Completing our PCI validation annually demonstrates our commitment to maintaining institutional-grade security standards," says Neel Patel, CTO at Jaris. "By automating the oversight required by Card Networks within our compliant infrastructure, we're removing the 'compliance tax' from onboarding. This allows our partners to evaluate merchant risk instantly and scale their portfolios without the typical manual friction."
What this means for ISOs and ISVs
Historically, integrating Card network screening tools required partners to expand their own PCI scope or manage complex vendor relationships. By handling this within the Jaris ecosystem, we allow our partners to:
Evaluate risk instantly: Perform required MATCH checks and merchant screening seamlessly during the underwriting process
Maintain lean compliance: Access Card Network services through our validated environment—no need to expand your own PCI scope
Scale faster: Onboard larger merchant portfolios with the confidence that the underlying infrastructure meets enterprise-grade security standards
Stay current: Benefit from our continuous compliance monitoring and annual validation—we handle the audits, you focus on growth
Built for partners who take risk seriously
Our PCI-validated infrastructure isn't just about checking a box—it's architected to support the demanding requirements of risk-bearing platforms:
Secure API access to Card Network screening tools
Automated compliance workflows that embed regulatory requirements into your onboarding process
Audit-ready documentation that simplifies your own compliance reviews
Continuous monitoring to ensure ongoing adherence to PCI standards
Focus on growth, not red tape
This milestone is about removing the barriers between our partners and their growth. By maintaining our PCI validation and integrating Card Network services like Mastercard MATCH within our secure environment, we ensure our partners can focus on what they do best: serving their customers and scaling their portfolios.
Security and speed shouldn't be a trade-off. With our validated enterprise-grade infrastructure, we're proving they work hand-in-hand.
