When enrolling please make sure to use the company name and merchant number. For liability reasons Sweep&Go or Fiserv reps are not allowed to assist with the PCI Compliance process. If you have any questions regarding PCI Compliance please reach out to VikingCloud directly at (877) 257-0239 and they will walk you through the scan/questionnaire.
