That is exactly the industry I am currently in, that is until USBANK takes our mainframe away and do the processing in the US. But as I understand it, PCI compliance can be negotiated with the Auditors who then need to build a good case for the company with Master Card / VISA / AMEX. We were able to complete most of the requirements over a 3 year period, but I am convinced that if we stayed online beyond our current end date, we might have been forced to buy some EMC disks and move our customer data behind the middleware. I do not think it is a Country / Region that determines the rules, it is internationally determined by Master Card / VISA / AMEX / PCI.
