What is PCI Pal App?

The PCI Pal Payments app allows your customers to make secure payments during live calls on Freshcaller. The app lets your customers enter their confidential payment information while ensuring no sensitive payment card data is seen or heard by the agent or exposed to your contact center account.


PCI Pal utilizes DTMF (Dual Tone Multi-Frequency) masking technology, as well as speech recognition for customers who can’t use their telephone keypad, to provide companies with a secure way of handling payments by phone without bringing their environments in the scope of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).


Use PCI Pal app with Freshcaller to:

  • Reduce the scope of PCI DSS
  • Reduce AHT (Average Handling Time)
  • Reduce pressure on Agents
  • Increase payment success
