PCI Compliant IVR Tokenization Solutions – Interactive Voice Response for Phone Based Customer Payments
Credit card data is required to be handled in a PCI compliant manner. IVR Tokenization is the process that securely exchanges full credit card number for a non-sensitive replacement value in an IVR Payment Solution.
IVR Tokenization for phone based payments typically work as follows:
- Customer calls into the IVR Payment Solution
- When full credit card information is entered by the customer an API call is made via the IVR Gateway [data is encrypted]
- A token is returned eg full 16 digit card # is replaced by 45$%#(&ytU&. This “token” can then be used for future payments made by that customer. The token is sent with future payments.
Because the token is a replacement for full card data in and of itself it is not sensitive data and simply having the token’s value is useless. This creates a secure environment for card data handling.
Callers interact with the IVR Payment System via touch tone or voice prompts, allowing them to make payments due without the need for human interaction from the merchant organization side.
