*Removal from Visa~Rs List of Compliant Service Providers - Visa has 
removed Heartland from its online list of Payment Card Industry Data 
Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliant service providers. HPS has advised, 
however, that it is aggressively working on remediation and re-validation 
of its systems to comply with PCI DSS standards. The company will be 
relisted once it revalidates its PCI DSS compliance using a Qualified 
Security Assessor and meets other related compliance conditions.*

*System Participation - HPS is now in a probationary period, during which 
it is subject to a number of risk conditions including more stringent 
security assessments, monitoring and reporting. Subject to these 
conditions, Heartland will continue to serve as a processor in the Visa 
system.*
