The costs to become compliant with these programs can be huge. You may need to purchase new hardware and new software. You will almost certainly need software upgrades - all performed by a technical specialist. Once the upgrades have been done, you are required to engage an external auditor to attend your site and review your entire business. Let's look at a cost breakdown:

1. System Review - $4,000
   
2. Hardware and software upgrade - $25,000
   
3. Configuration - $15,000
   
4. External Audit - $20,000
   
5. TOTAL UPFRONT - $64,000

or... you could simply use the BillSmart system of card collection and storage, bypassing the need to do any of the expensive compliance tasks.

Let's take a look at the costs of using BillSmart:

1. Once-off system configuration - $2,000
   
2. TOTAL UPFRONT - $2,000

We are already compliant, so it makes business sense to leverage our investment.
